> As someone who has spent a substantial amount of time reviewing top MBA programs As someone who has spent a substantial amount of time with friends who graduated from Stanford GSB, I can tell you, an elite MBA may not guarantee anything but it opens many, many doors for you (it's up to you to also close it once you're in the door). I'm talking about regular lunches with VC's and billionaires, getting a soft landing when your startup fails, and leading big teams at FAANG's a couple years after graduation. That's just the perks you get in Silicon Valley. Wall Street is another level entirely. They only hire elite MBAs. A great book to read on this is Liquidated by Karen Ho, which details the many privileges elite graduates get on Wall Street. |

Can you clarify? In my experience in finance this has not been true for at least the past decade.
Blackrock, JPMC, and many hedge funds hire out of good schools but solely Ivy League or elite MBAs.
And certainly the director level has plenty of state school graduates.
Am I missing something?
