How important is the prestige of the university where you do your undergrad?

Very important, although many say it is not, it is really taken into account at the moment of getting a job and keeping clients.

I do not understand those people who focus more on the prestige of the university than on doing their job well, it is something that should be analyzed very well.

For me, the prestige of the university is important. I want to attend a school that is respected and known for its great programs. I believe this will give me a better chance of succeeding after graduation.

A person's undergraduate institution is not nearly as important as their postgraduate institution. A person's undergraduate institution is only a stepping stone to their postgraduate institution.

The prestige of the university where you do your undergrad is not important at all. It's what you do with your degree that matters, not where you got it.
