I don’t agree with this speaking from experience in the tech industry, which is the focus of article. I went to CC. I work right along side folks with all kinds of prestigious backgrounds, and we’ve earned eachother’s respect based on performance on the job. My education label hasn’t hurt my ability to get the jobs (or salaries) I’ve wanted, either.

The trend I’ve noticed is that the more senior of a role we interview for the less and less we even look at their education. Much more comes from their work history.

While the study is possibly applicable to the jobs they studied (lawyer / business roles), I’m not sure it holds up in all sectors.
