^ You have a few valid points, but not about IBD. That is certainly a revenue generating role, and everyone works very hard. However, once again - there will be women / some minority hires for IBD at major banks. And you will still answer to HR.

I do agree that S&T and smaller shops could be red pill if that is the tone set from the top - but the same applies for any small business, really. While you may be able to find a red pill niche within finance, those choosing this career path expecting a “Wolf of Wall Street” lifestyle will be extremely disappointed. In the vast majority of cases, it will be quite similar to working at any other major corporation (i.e., nothing inherently red pill).

Sales is a pretty red pill career. You deliver or you don't. It is results based, not fluff based. Highly recommend everyone try sales at least once in their life. Personal finance where you manage money can be a pretty red pill gig, as that is all about telling people unpleasant truths if you're going to be a good advisor. Then there is the ultimate red pill profession: Working for yourself.

Everybody says sales, but what kind of sales exactly? Currently working in the media and B-to-B sales in the industry is as female infested as it can get.

Are you talking about commission sales?

[John Michael Kane]

I'm talking about commissioned sales in an environment that is 5-to-1 men to women. Even the women in these fields know they have to produce. Could be anything pharma sales to real estate. You get paid because you did a great job, not because of who you know.

Sales engineering because it combines sales and stem and BOTH are a path that most women avoid.

Sales engineering is legit.

Make 150k and all you do it demos all day if you're in software. Make less than the sales guys but have no actual quota.
