Well, I'm guilty of that, but it's because I don't assume people actually know the specific company I work at, or the university I went to. Even if the latter is generally deemed "prestigious", in the end, only a small set of people know it, so it's a generally useless precision.
Admittedly, if you work for a let's say a GAFA, you can probably safely assume people know the name. But for let's say MIT, I'd very curious to know which percentage of the us population actually know the name and attach it to academic excellence.
- akhilcacharya 8y ago> I don't assume people actually know the specific company I work at, or the university I went to. When I started interning out of state I thought this as well, but then people thought I was just obfuscating going to Duke or UNC (when in reality my actual school was a few tiers lower). In most circumstances where this sort of thing would come up, I would imagine even the general public would understand the weight MIT has - hell, Tony Stark went there! (Also, what's GAFA? Google, Apple, Facebook, Airbnb?)
- C4stor 8y agoHaha, I don't know either Duke or UNC ! (but I'm french, so there's that I suppose...) Around there, GAFA is what you said except it's Amazon and not AirBnb
