The original post of this thread mentions in the importance (or lack of) of college prestige in engineering. The discussion started talking about engineering at prestigious colleges and related outcomes. I suppose that’s a change from the usual CC discussions that instead emphasize the importance of prestige in “elite” finance/consulting and CS at FAANG.
Nobody said that. I also wouldn’t assume a higher relative rate of working at “elite” consulting and lower rate of working in traditional engineering means destined to a live of life of poverty.
