Hi everyone,
I recently got interested in this as a possible career path. I did research on females in IB, but a lot of what I found was just about how horrible it is. Or I end up on pages about gold diggers targeting male IBers. Just trying to get some insight on how females are perceived in the field, and some experiences from you if you're female.
I always hear about the frat-like feel, models and bottles etc .. But where do the girls fit in here ? What is the male to female ratio like ? Do the females hang out separately from the males, or do they join in on the bottle popping ? What about the females on the higher ranks of this career ? What do you think is generally the kind of girl that goes for this field ?
About me: Girl. 20 yrs old, senior (BBA). Love finance, trade in my free time. Caribbean. Studying, born and currently living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (moving to USA in the following years).
I know I have quite a bit going against me for this (foreigner currently, minority female, found out about IB late, attending foreign non-target university) .. Any advice is welcome.
