    I see @shanonachimalbe's point - but you can't hire everyone, & you have to use some metrics for evaluation.https://twitter.com/atlblog/status/626395123472056320 …

        @DavidLat @shanonachimalbe Metrics? You mean artificial standards. I get that there's often nothing else, but they're not metrics.

        @DavidLat But those who didn't make the top cut have just as much grit and ambition because they have something to prove.

        @shanonachimalbe @DavidLat its the nature of the market Shannon. Simply too little demand and too many graduates.

        @DavidLat Thats one problem I had with Bailey's article. If you're going to hire top T234s because they are just as smart as HYS then fine.

        @DavidLat @shanonachimalbe Don't be defeatist, David. She's provided the metrics: grit and ambitiousness. Who needs a GPA...

        @DavidLat Yeah, it seems impossible under the current system for large, in-demand firms to not use school as a candidate screen.
