What effect does all this have? It annoys a lot of people. “There's a huge amount of humbug, especially in the American investment banks,” says a former managing director of one. It may help some women get and keep good jobs, admits a senior manager of an investment bank. “There's an element of positive discrimination in appointments, and most of the investment banks would be significantly shyer of firing a woman than a man.” Whether this does women much good is questionable. “If you're a woman and you become a managing director, two-thirds of the men will say behind their hands that it's only because you're a woman,” says the former managing director.
