What to do when not getting promoted as a female minority. I do better work than the white guys at my firm and have a bachelors from an ivy. My group head refuses to promote me. He did that with the VP and analyst last year so they left. He also fired two associates for not being cultural fits. What can I do? The lateral job market is so bad. .

Sounds like it has nothing to do with you being a female minority and everything to do with you having a rough group head. I’m not sure there’s anything you can do but keep off his/her toes and wait out the job market.

Simply move out. You have already decided that its due to you being a female minority. You won’t progress with that mentality. Moving out will give you fresh perspective

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
