Kind of but at some point the rubber meets the road. You see a lot of comments on HN that say "Wow, this person came from a top university / FAANG and yet couldn't pass our interview or did badly on the job."
- beforeolives 5y agoThink of it from the opposite direction - If you take only the people who can pass the interview and do well on the job, the ones from top universities/FAANG get more opportunities to interview in the first place. It's much easier to be a capable person who is associated with a prestigious institution than to be a capable person who isn't.
