That's true, but compounding returns are real in careers as well. That's my concern, at least.

I think there's a pretty significant outcomes difference in terms of social class in the top of the class at my school and the top of the class at say UWashington or UWaterloo

I don’t think they compound too much in our industry. It might take you a few years longer to get into a fang or decacorn but after that you’re on an even playing field.
