Hey Everyone,
just pondering over the thought of (trying to) go into interdealer broking...I know this webstie is about trading, but most of you sound like you know a lot about alot, so Its worth a try.
Recetnly I read an article saying that women and minorities are hardly ever given employment in IDB firms.
I then asked a trader friend, and he said every single broker he ever came into contact with was a white male.
Fine, I understand why there aren't many women in IDB, and frankly I don't care
But I am a minority (indian) and was wandering if this means I have no chance at all of getting work at an IDB. I'm also muslim by origin (but am not really a practicing muslim - I can drink like a fish). I'm convinced that this will hold me back at least a bit, but will it actually hold me back a hell of a lot?
Cheers.
