What does prestige even mean?

What does "prestige" even mean to everyone on this forum? I am going to work at an "S tier" group at a boutique. When I tell anyone outside of WSO lurkers that I am going to this group, they give me a blank stare. Why does this all matter? Feels like a pointless game I can't escape
