Tips to hop off the prestige wagon?
Hi All, really struggling with this lately so I wanted to articulate my thoughts to an anonymous chat forum to get "quality" feedback.
Background: Big 10 Business School, obviously not very prestigious. I have realized this fall that every decision I have made (the frat I rushed, internships I took, network I build) has been focused on maximizing this poison of prestige.
Problem: I got an internship offer at a no-name shop, but I really love the team and culture. It seems like a place I could settle in long-term (I know, naïve to say I know what I want to do long term, but this is just to say that the people and culture are fantastic). Other options on my plate are a lot of corp fin at F500's, T3 consulting stuff, or potentially a ultraboutique LMM IB.
Question: Were any of you in similar positions? What did you choose (and ultimately, why)? How did that choice play out for you?
TIA!!

we all go thru it, i did too. Lots of life boils down to presige to simple things like copping an LV wallet or buying a g wagon. It's fine, you'll grow out of it for the most part.
Just gotta get over it tbh. Its obvious when the nontarget/no name shop guys have massive chips on their shoulder.
Step 1: Get off of WSO
Step 2: Stop hanging around people who base self-worth around jobs and titles
You'll realize how superficial a lot of this is and at the end of the day we're all tryna make a buck.
