Revealed: females make up less than 10 per cent of top 100's equity partner ranks

@anonymous 3:50 The factors that are applied to our recruitment policy are not discriminatory - in that they do not favour either men or women. The male and female applicants have an equal chance of getting the job, it just so happens that less men want that job. Can we honestly say that the factors that affect promotion to partnership are not discriminatory? Do we honestly think that women have the same chance of making it to partner but they just don't want to? If that is genuinely what you believe, then may ask you why you think they aren't making it or don't want to? Are they workshy, incompetent or do they love their children more than men? I believe that later in a woman's career, she faces more difficulties delivering the things that the male partnership value because she has less opportunities to network and bag clients. I honestly don't think that quotas are the answer but is there not something in between? @anonymous 4:32 Personally I would have enjoyed a beer tent at a job fair. Top idea!!
