The netflix college admissions scandle, how much does this happen when it comes to those graduates getting their first job?

I mean, how often are captains of industries that pay hundreds of thousands, if not millions to get their kids into college, also paying to get their kids jobs & careers?


I often come across people & think to myself, how the fuck did you get past the interview?

In sales? Almost never. 

in other industries like finance, law enforcement c etc, it’s more rife than the college scandal

I feel like sales is more, friends of friends helping each other out or helping friends kids get their first job. I'm sure in the next 5-10 years, there will be CRO's out there known as king makers- work for this CRO and you'll be a millionaire in  x number of years, or some shit like that.

100% in other industries. If I'm a senior exec paying retainers to law firms, you best believe that law firm is picking my kid if they want to work there.

I would say it doesn’t happen as much in our industry, but I’d say law firms, architecture, Etc. nepotism is rampant.

This is a really good point. One of daddy's friends is gonna hire these kids anyway, so why do illegal shit?

I feel like if you're a top talent it doesn't matter how many days you work. When I was hired my VP of sales said, "I don't care if it takes you 20hrs a week or 60hrs a week. As long as you perform like you say you can and hit your number, we're all good"

Who went to college knowing they would get into sales?

I was hired at a really good start up about 4 months ago for a SDR role that I was told I wouldn’t be in for very long. They’re gonna go public in the next year, but Zoom Info reached out to me about an Account exec position. Now I’m wondering if I should take the guaranteed route to AE or let my shares vest and get to AE at the place that took me. Usually I wouldn’t consider jumping so quickly, but AE is AE.
