Would you rather hire someone with poor grades who struggled to find answers on their own, or someone who had excellent grades utilizing superior resources and teamwork?

The reality is that the former student will probably never get a place at the table because they’ll get filtered out of the ‘elite’ pipeline sooner than later, and even if they do make it through, they probably also lack the same resources for your companies’s interview process.

Some people want to do it on their own and refuse to cheat. What is the best strategy for someone in that group? Is school and big tech just not for them?
