I think check LinkedIn or the career outcomes reports? I’m not too familiar with trading but I imagine there are some that are able to make the jump.

I’d never say impossible but if you look at employment reports, finance is typically broken down into IB, PE, VC, investment management, and other. Trading is clearly a small enough chunk of the pie that it’s not worth breaking out.

Hedge fund trading or bank trading? Pretty sure S&T hires from Mba but tbh kinda a dying indutry

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
