I work at a PE firm and IR folks are not looked down upon whatsoever since it’s a very important client-facing role and critical to fundraising. Corporate IR for public companies is a completely different function and yes might be looked down upon

Feels like every asset manager I’ve ever worked at, all the IR department is attractive women. Neither a good nor bad thing, but I’m not sure why people helping to generate revenue would ever be looked down on.

Got it, I’m thinking purely in financial services. I hadn’t realized that was a function in other firms with a totally different purpose.

Looked down on? By who? And more importantly, if it’s what you want to do, who TF cares if it’s looked down by a few DBs.

In my opinion, yes
