Why School Prestige Is Important
I'm currently a banking analyst who is signed at aMF. People don't tell you this, butPEfirms (especially MF) are way more prestige heavy than Investment banks are and can tell you first-hand that school is extremely important for getting a Megafund/UMMPEoffer.
I'd still say bank matters a bit more than school, but school is still very important toPEheadhunters. Non-target kids, even atGS不幸的是，很难看一些更具声望的重型公司KKR/Apollo/Silver Lake.
I work at a top 3 bank in a very strong group, and the kids who went to less reputable but still good schools (UNC for example) had worse exits/received less interview requests than top targets like Harvard and Princeton. It is not impossible to break into aMFas a non-target, just will be harder.
if you go to4:20of this video, the Peak Frameworks guy said even coming from Evercore M&A tech, he got way less interviews than Ivy League kids.

我可以亲身告诉你，我负责joint venture between Citadel还有黑石，我目前与高盛的前首席执行官一起工作。
That type of person is very good at processing work. However, that same person is mostly useless as they get more senior, as they are mostly trapped within that prestige complex. They need the problem framed for them, because that is how they succeed in academia. I can tell you firsthand working with Harvard undergrad / Yale Law types they don't contribute very much...
are you referring to the person in the video?
Wtf lmao? The CFO of Blackstone went to Harvard / Yale Law
Did Ross kids place wellMFwise at your firm?
They placed well. I'd say HYPSW are the top tier, rest of the ivies/duke/chicago are next, then Michigan/ND/Georgetown/Stern
Damn I thought they would be in the second tier, by sheer quantity on LinkedIn it looks like Ross (not Michigan) this year placed better than like Cornell Dartmouth and stern, but appreciate the response
没有声望。让我听到你说，没有声望。有优点，并且有对优点的看法。声望不过是一个群体的心理行为现象，而不是其他任何东西。为什么我应该选择您担任该职位？“好吧，如果你看我的简历，我从以前的机构那里得到了很多声望the name of the prior institutionsdo matter. But why do they matter? Is it "prestige." Or is it a representation of merit and the work it took to achieve those prior milestones? We shouldn't ever forget that it's actually the work and the results that really are the heart of the decision. The prior schooling or work institution is a representation of that. It holds weight in the reasoning, as it should. But let's not get caught in this fairy make believe prestige land as if that's even something tangible at all
