[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These surveys are so meaningless. No CEO is directly hiring an entry-level person out of college. And when they do hire/promote at the more senior levels, Ivy grads are well represented. There is zero chance a CEO ever looked at a candidate for senior management and said "nah, he went to an Ivy."

I did not attend an Ivy and I have no view on whether they're overrated, but I am deeply suspicious of rich dudes who "already got theirs" saying young people expect too much respect at work.[/quote]

It is not meaningless.  I work in tech, and this  is pretty much the prevailing sentiment. [/quote]

I work in real tech and you are delusional.[/quote]
I also work in real tech (FAANG), and it's both. They still hire from the T10 but they also hire people with no degrees now or those who went to a lesser school.  It didn't use to be that way.  Years ago, I saw a list of "acceptable" schools that the company hired from depending on the role.  And the CIO would also interview the person who was applying for a lower level job, not senior. It was crazy. That has changed.[/quote]
