    Edit: From comments, it seems you don't need to shoot the bird to get this, only crash the stock manually and exit the bank as the fired banker or investor.

    Credit to koolkong in the comments: You don't actually need to kill the target as the fired banker, all you need is crash the stock and exit the bank as either the Fired Banker or Investment Banker. The rest is up to you how you play through the mission. I would still recommend doing the fired banker story, as it is an easier way of dispatching of the target, but only those two main steps are needed in order for the exit to appear.

    For those who want a short solution: Crash the stock manually in the stock room whilst disguised as an investor. Follow the fired banker mission story to kill the target by pushing her out of the window. Finish main objectives and exit via the window by the conference room whilst dressed as the fired banker or investor.

    Original solution (just disregard bringing a sniper and shooting the bird):

    Okay, so this only has a few steps but was confusing to work out. To start out, finish the mission once so you can bring in a sniper rifle through an ICA drop point.

    You now have 2 main steps to do:
    1) Kill the target by pushing her out of the window in her office where she patrols.
    2) Crash the stock.

    I started with the stock as I wasn't sure if it needed to be done in any particular order. You need to disguise yourself as an investor (or start as one if your Mastery Level is high enough) and interact with the computer in the stock room and sell it off to crash the stock.

    To kill the target by pushing her out of the window (you need to do this), follow the mission story for the fired banker (as you need his disguise for this exit to appear) and go up to her office. Since I crashed the stock first, she was still downstairs, so I took out all 3 guards in here and hid them behind the white sofa on the left so I would have the room to myself after I killed the target.
    Once the target starts talking to you, she will eventually go to the window and face away from you, push her out and unpack your sniper rifle.

    Here's where a sidestep comes in that will open up the scenic exit. Look across the room from the window and you will see a bird flying in a circle. Line up your shot and kill it.
    Now all you need to do is either get the data core (which you can hide in the briefcase your sniper was in) or get all 3 back-up bits of data.

    Once the main objectives are complete, you will see a new 5th exit on the map. This one is on the stairs leading to the top floor where the target was (by the conference room), where you can now exit via the window.
    For reference, here is a clip showing the exit:

    TropoebusMay 16, 2021. Got the achievement without shooting the bird.
    Maybe @Doctor Zod did something wrong.

    LordMakanakiI completed the entire mission without focusing on this at all. Then, at the end, briefcase with datacore in hand, I disguised myself as an investment banker and crashed the stock by selling 3 times. The exit became available immediately after.

    Kino PlaysI think the issue with this one is that if you do the stock first Athena does something to make it recover.

    What worked for me was I crashed the stock, then pushed her out of the window, got the core.... but no new exit.... so then I got the Kronkite report from the deposit box and gave it to the reporter and that made it appear.

    This is completed in the New York - The Golden Handshake. Make sure you bring a sniper (preferably silenced). You will need to reach Athena's office and eliminate all of her guards. Then wait for her to return to the window so you can push her out. Now, with your sniper, look out the window and you will see a bird. You need to shoot the bird with your sniper. This unlocks the secret exit; however, you need to get the fired investor disguise to use it and before exiting you must dump the stocks, using the computer in the stock room.

    Here is a video guide with English commentary!

    Gilbert PrimeYou don't have to shoot the pigeon. You don't have to push Athena through the window. All that is actually required is to crash the stock manually and later activate the secret exit both while dressed as either the Fired Banker or an Investment Banker. You can get the core and kill Athena any way you want while dressed in any disguise you want.

    John AceyI don't understand these "troll" steps in these solutions. xD
    Shooting the bird is not required.
    Again have to give negative.
    I don't know what else to say. *shrugs*
