Finance is one of those careers where people seem to still care about prestige.

Do you think it still matters whether you work in a Goldman Sachs, or 'non-bulge bracket' experience is still just as valuable/respected these days?

Honestly I think this is still true in a lot of industries. But especially finance. However you'll still see it elsewhere, it's just exaggerated in finance.

I think it matters if you are trying to hop from big name to big name. And it can definitely make a difference in terms of your salary. But I just want to feel valued and respected personally.

I think it still matters.

IMO it still matters.

So here's the thing. Anyone outside of finance will look for whatever nonsense they've seen on TV. But, those who actually know the work are mostly just concerned with the technical skills.

it doesn't actually make you smarter, or better than the people who didn't work there, but it's like harvard - it's all about the network.
