How high is the entry barrier in SF if you’re not a recent Big 4? The two help each other get business at clients, so wouldn’t a B4 have one up with a warm intro from a partner etc.?

I think if you have relevant experience and a referral you should be able to get an interview without being B4…maybe depends on the role though

For tech roles, Its got to be meritocratic. Anything pre-sales through to CS would likely be skewed heavily in favor of B4s and others.
Bet the partners are guarding those with all their might, even sharing territory with the oligopoly to keep others out. Wonder why they do it so openly, the clowns think everyone else is stupid
