I saw a grand total of two Asian women on my vac scheme (both trainees) but maybe it's just that firm :')

At trainee level? Yep women outnumber men in many large firms; drops off a cliff at partner though.Well was it peer reviewed? Just because you wrote a paper on it doesn't make it true. I can't think of any firm where there is a statistically significant overrepresentation of women or minorities at trainee level - would love if you name dropped some
I think discussing diversity on a forum, where it's hard to discern the meaning behind what someone is saying is a road to nowhere tbf... Should probably stick to applications and discussions surrounding apps
Yes, I regret that this escalated - I was just pointing out that the phrase "pale, male and stale" probably shouldn't be used and isn't necessarily that true.
folks, folks, we don't need to get into an online debate about diversity. sorry, i brought it up. let's just try to be supportive and encourage each other - the application process is challenging enough. again, my apologies for the offhand remarks x
It's because there are more female law graduates? There are a lot of female associates because there are more female law graduates - that's not disportionate, that's the exact opposite, it's proportionate. Wasn't able to find any statistics showing an overrepresentation of other minorities either.
Correct, it may well be the fact that there are more female law grads, along with a multitude of other complex factors. It was simply a comment in regards to the profession and representation of the UK's population.
Common CorpSmith W. You only need to do a LinkedIn search and attend open days and you can see for yourself.
White boys are the minority there.
But is it an overrepresentation? That's the operative word here - I know women outnumber men but there are more female law graduates so if anything it's representative not overrepresentative.
Asian females are literally the highest performing demographic. No way someone is really claiming they are a disadvantage demographic 💀
In terms of the general population? Yes.
Sorry I thought we were talking about the general population - that seemed like the comparator the other poster was going for.
After the online test I imagine; people should be getting invites to the AC seeing how they told me they can't invite me to the AC.
why is links taking so long to get back for a summer vac scheme 😭
This is my first time applying to all these firms; do they invite people to AC in batches?
lol point me to these firms pls…i can’t seem to find them
perhaps I should have specified this is what I meant in my original comment. I simply mean overrepresentation compared to the general population. I think if you start getting into this then you would have to control for an innumerable number of factors that would be impossibly hard to calculate. i.e grades, university attended etc
