Why women are leaving trading
Despite banks' recent efforts to promote gender equality, women are leaving the trading floor and make up as little as 11% of director and managing-director roles in finance, according to one study. What’s behind the gap? A relatively hostile environment may be preventing some women from climbing the ranks, according to a Bloomberg report, with female trading professionals citing constant interruptions when speaking at meetings, getting paid less than male colleagues and working without female role models as all taking a toll.
