Two thirds of women working in financial markets believe their gender made it harder to succeed, according to the fourth annual Women in Finance survey from Financial News. The survey gauges how women feel their gender affects them in the workplace. Of the 900 women surveyed, only 4% said being female made it easier to succeed, while 29% said gender was irrelevant to success.

The longer a woman stays in the industry, the greater the likelihood that she will have encountered discrimination. Only 27% of respondents who have worked in financial markets for less than two years said they felt they had been discriminated against on account of their gender. This rises to 41% after five to 10 years and up to a staggering 62% after 15 years.
