[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with the others - you’ve drank the top school kool aid. The thing is, it’s not top schools vs lower ranked schools now, it’s a global competition. I went to the UMich and head a department at a large professional services firm in NY. My peers, the heads of the other departments, come from a variety of schools - Yale, Arizona State, Williams, Boulder, Rutgers, etc. Recently, a position to become the Head for the Americas opened up and a bunch of us went for the job. Do you know who got it??? A guy from India who came from a no name Indian university, not even from the top Indian engineering schools which are well known. Imagine how we felt. As others have said, it’s about grit and determination. Connections help especially for the first job. But the most important thing is the value you bring. [/quote] +1[/quote]
