super agree. guys feel like they need to be put on your blackberry in order to be considered, and that is a huge deterrence. Haven't seen any colleagues who find boyfriends while working as analysts/associates, but several male bankers got married. -- by 会员 teacherkoo (2010/5/23 14:38:45)
Sadly agree with this as well. All the female senior officers I see (in IBs or PE/HFs) either met their husbands really early (actually a lot of them met their husbands during analyst training) or met them during business school. If you have graduated from business school and you are still single, well, good luck. Most guys in finance rather marry school teachers, HR girls, and etc. I know this one female VP who was single (maybe age 35?). She got laid off in '08, then finally found a guy, got married and had a baby all within less than two years... -- by 会员 REgirl07 (2010/5/23 15:34:30)
One more here. My high school classmate went to AIG in HK for summer intern and told me that she just got panic while seeing their female 50+ MD still going out every week for blind date. She quit banking job, moved to CA and finally got a bf and successfully got married. She said that was the smartest decision she has ever made hoho. |
