As someone who fits into that category - I agree with this reply...you can incorporate it into your story during networking / interviews (I did so myself) and it can make you memorable. People respect the grind they really do.

However, I doubt first gen or low income will make up for anything you’re missing on your resume during a screen I.e leadership positions, internships, high GPA etc.

Sadly, low income / first gen never really seems to count for much in terms of getting your foot in the door and you always gotta sell people on how it’s been a positive thing. Albeit those of us that came from that background always bring some intangibles to the table because of it.
