I think a similar preference cascade is coming for universities.
Why? (Not an argumentative why, just a curious why. This is a claim often made, but usually badly argued - I'd love to see a good argument for it.)
It's unclear to me that this is happening in non-tech industries. Now I think tech is increasingly rising in scale and importance so that may be enough. But I see no signs of law, finance, etcetc moving this direction
Which other industries will be first to undergo the transition? And why has need for signal been eroded in the other industries?
This is part of my thesis, too: if (without loss of generality) Goldman Sachs will only hire from prestige institutions and all similar employers share same restriction, then one must go to Harvard/etc. But if Goldman will hire from Google which will hire from the Internet...
And it doesn't take decades for that preference cascade to happen. How many Googlers need to go to Goldman before that is not merely a one-off target-of-opportunity but a path that can be repeatedly trodden and systematically laid out to people?
n.b. I bet $100 that the Googlers at Goldman can trivially find each other via an internal network or tool which explicitly supports that use case, a fact which is not irrelevant to how quickly they can catalyze a cascade in Goldman's preferences.
Yeah also very bullish on bunch of incumbents not following it, but being obsoleted by companies that use tech organization/hiring/processes
What about reverse drift: tech proficient people at Goldman leaving for tech companies, which would slow down the change velocity?
