Have you really never come across this? My anecdota are the exact opposite. In every hiring process that I've been familiar with (granted, that's only like...3), you'd have a non-trivial advantage at getting your foot in the door if you have a good name on your resume. By the time you get to interviews, nobody really cares, but the recruiters in pretty much every organization I've been exposed to use extremely blunt filters like that.
- popobobo 10y agoYeah, I literally laughed when I saw this. I worked at Goldman Ball Sachs for a little while. Tell you what, you will get discriminated by management if you don't have ivy on your resume. I have had a md talking straight to my face that he thinks I am lucky to get this job because the people around me all graduated with a phd from Havard, Princeton and Yale. I don't even give a shit.
