Advice from a seasoned financier and politician
My background:
Went to a private high school (one of the best in the world), then Oxbridge for a liberal arts course (Classics, PPE, History, Philosophy). Then onto an EB, then a Rhodes Scholar, then MBB then W, then PE MF. Now a senator/MP/equivalent in a G7 country.
1 - School matters a LOT. It stays with you your entire life. Don't trust rankings or "brand name". For example, a Dartmouth kid has more resources than a Harvard geek. Undergraduate school is more important than your MBA alma mater.
2 - IBD is not prestigious (unless it's Rothschild/CVP/PJT).
3 - Imperial/MIT/CMU/Stanford/UCB kids get dinged a LOT. The old boys in politics and finance don't like nerds.
4 - If your dad was a blue collar pleb, kiss politics or ivory tower finance goodbye.
With regard to IBD (#2) why Rothschild/CVP/PJT?
Most prestigious
Hi,
Many thanks for the post. Very glad someone as prestigious as you is here to help those of us interested in the classic 2+2+20 track. Just curiously, could you please help me contextualise the following exits with regard to comp, culture, prestige, prestige and prestige:
Many thanks!
What course did you read for your Rhodes
MPhil economics
That's incredibly prestigious.
First of all they are old in 10 years or so those MIT/imperial/Stanford/berk boys will take over the world
