[QUOTE="Myrdin Potter, post: 8933908, member: 6843593"] I will not invest in tobacco companies and have turned down several offers to interview there over the years. I have some indirect investment via index funds, but I cannot avoid that. Any claim that somehow a woman finance analysts gets a pass because of their gender does not understand the market for finance analysts at all. There is no real additional burden (and perhaps even a slight benefit) there. My accounting and organizations have been vastly women dominated my whole career. FP&A has been more 30-50% women. If someone chose to work at a tobacco company with a professional position then they chose to ignore the product. I actually struggle to make the connection between gadfly words on social media and the number of people made ill and who die because of tobacco. I don’t think I am 100% over to your position, but it certainly resonates with me. [/QUOTE]
