Clicking on the top companies on the leaderboard, top reason given for most wins is Prestige (over Compensation, Mission, Career Growth, etc.).

I wonder how accurate that self-reporting is.

How many of the people saying Prestige are thinking career growth? What does prestige get you that's more important than career growth? (Consolation prize for parents who wanted you to become a doctor?)

I got LinkedIn and Ramp. I've never heard of Ramp in my life. I bet all the actual results for Ramp are buried under a mountain of people who clicked companies with a more widespread brand and then clicked prestige because it's the closest thing to "I have no idea who the other option is".

Great theory.

I don't know what two companies pay, so I clicked two based on reputation and work. If I knew one paid more, I would have absolutely chosen that.
