The grass is always greener bud. I’m a first generation college student and I used to talk about it all the time in my story. For reference my family was dirt poor growing up. 

I got great feedback from close friends and alumni with the comment but I was never converting my interviews into superdays for some reason. I literally dropped 5-6 words from the story and I convert most interviews into supers now. Does that mean that there’s a natural inclination towards hiring people who have many generations of educated family members? 
 

No it likely means that they thought I was looking for pity when I brought it up. Now I focus on talking about the internships I’ve done, the kind of person I am, and my reasons for wanting to work at XYZ bank. 
 

Long story short OP, nobody cares about your sob story no matter what it may be. If you pity your upbringing then interviewers will be able to tell and you’ll get filtered out of the process. Focus on the crap they want to hear in interviews/networking — the crap that actually matters.
 

Bankers don’t care about your upbringing; they care about your passion/drive, your intelligence, and your personality. Unless your uncle is an MD at Blackstone — then they might hire you for your upbringing.
