A headhunter invited her to interview at Morgan Stanley for an investment-banking job. She liked the team and could travel less while working on big deals. She took the job. Five months later, she was pregnant, which she said delighted her colleagues.
“It was such an exciting time in the markets and everyone was excited for me,” she said. “I felt I became a real person in the senior bankers’ eyes, a more substantial person. I wasn’t part of the sea of single people marching through.”
My understanding is that she's felt more confident in herself since she's pregant and the knowledge of her pregnancy is known in the company.
A real person, a more substantial person, mean the same idea. She's being funny about herself. She feels before that she was invisible in this company, like part of the furniture, that her bosses and colleagues paid little attention to her and her existence.
I agree with Turati on the second floor of this thread.
"In the markets" should be a reference to the field she works in, and at that time "the markets" happen to be quite "exciting", adding more excitement to her getting pregnant.
But to be 100% sure, you'll have to ask the author herself. :D
