[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolute nonsense. I hire many graduates every year. The idea that they are divided into some kind of caste system based on where they went to college is simply ludicrous. Of course we have a vague ranking of the different universities, but your personality, experience, interests, and individual accomplishments count for more. And of course, once you are in the door no one gives a crap where you went to university.[/quote]

There are only a very few areas where it matters (VC/PE and for this it's where you got your MBA not undergrad that matters, high level investment banking) beyond that it simply does not matter.  FAANG hires from hundreds of schools and you start with similar pay.  And once you have the first job nobody gives a shit where you went to school---they care what you did at your last job.

Stop propagating that you need an MBA for P/E or VC.  Many P/E associates are graduates of GS or other IBank analyst programs.  Most VCs are not MBAs…some are hired from undergrad and move up the ranks and probably more have STEM backgrounds that move laterally at high levels based on industry and/or start-up success.[/quote]
