[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in IT consulting at a large, well known company. Virtually none of my colleagues have gone to graduate school, including the directors making $500k+. None. However, for entry level recruits, school name absolutely matters. A graduate from a top school is recruited for client facing management consulting. Candidates from lesser ranked schools are recruited for back office roles, a totally different career path. The prestigious school gets you access to clients, contacts in those organizations, and opportunities to grow your career. Back office roles are just processing invoices or negotiating subcontracts for 20 years.[/quote]

I doubt the company you work at is making decisions the way you think they are. If they are, then they're not making the best decisions they could. In IT especially, there are an enormous number of very qualified candidates coming from state schools. Placing someone in a specific position based on the name on their degree is very short-sighted.[/quote]
