They check your education, not your family background. Nobody has a clue whether your parents were middle class or lower income.
- dota_fanatic 11y agoThat may be somewhat true if education was completely or even somewhat disconnected from familial background... are you completely ignoring all the discussion going on here? One major point is that without that background, your resume isn't ever even going to be on the hiring person's desk, much less under their attention.
- morgante 11y agoI'm not saying that education is complete disconnected from familial background. But the latter isn't solely a determinant of the former. Ricky, for example, has a Stanford degree. No hiring manager will know about his low family income. Pretending that VCs/managers somehow have an invisible ball to peer into an applicant's entire life is completely disingenuous.
