> There are plenty of less glowing stories to tell about tech's top executives: narratives of privilege, excess and incestuous ties to the rest of the power structure So true of small tech companies at which I've worked. External PR is a rags-to-riches story, the truth however involves mainly being middle/upper class. Even as the company grows, you know you'll never rise anywhere because they won't permit the advancement of anyone who wasn't born in to money or those that didn't attend Oxbridge.
