The things he hated about Wall Street are just as prevalent in SV, too. Instead of worrying about whether or not he went to an Ivy school, his concern now might be: does he have investors with the "right" pedigree for his startup? Face time with traders and MDs is replaced by hoping that all the "cool" tech blogs are writing his startup (no? writing a few troll posts on the startup's blog should fix that). Etc. Or, he could choose to forget all that and just build his company. But if that kind of petty and superficial stuff got under his skin before, I don't see why it's going to be any different for him now.
