I think that hugely ambitious companies that achieve insane exits (pref IPO) could make a dent.

  > I think that hugely ambitious companies that achieve insane exits (pref IPO) could make a dent. Why? The existence of finance people who have made tons of money and their lionization resulted in the lionization of finance folks who haven't made tons of money. In fact, there's probably a bit of the opposite, namely "you're in finance and haven't made it, so there must be something wrong with you". NYC lionizes AFTER you've made it. Even if it cares how (and it doesn't seem to), it doesn't lionize folks who haven't made it, regardless of how they're trying to make it.
