A CS degree from Stanford is how you get a red carpet entry to a $500k+ entry-level AI/VC/Trading role.
An astounding amount of tribal knowledge is hidden behind elite-CS-spaces. Some high-school hackers are the right combination of lucky, talented-and savvy enough to enter these spaces. But, walking that path without the fallback of an elite university puts you 1 mis-step away from eternal mediocrity.

- gorjusborg 3y agoHaving known a number of people taking that route, I don't believe it guarantees success any more than following a less defined path. If ones definition of success is limited to money, then maybe. I don't believe one can be successful and miserable. Accepting misery is accepting failure. You can have money and be miserable. It is actually quite common.
