New research finds bias in elite professional services hiring
- paulsutter 11y ago> banking, consulting, and law firms... use a definition of merit that is linked closely to social class... aspirants without elite qualifications or connections—or evidence of pedigree—tend to have slim chances of earning an offer So people who overinvest in pedigree get funneled into jobs of painful drudgery (banking, consulting, law firms). That's pretty funny.
