To answer your question, yes, "on average", I would say targets always win. You will not be restricted but you may need to work harder to get noticed. Just work hard and make the best of what you have. Did you just want someone to say "don't worry about it, 3 years out of school, no one gives a crap at all"? Just false, it will affect you in little ways throughout your career. But is it then the case that non-targets will always have to work five times harder than them forever? I understand this is true and somewhat fair at entry level, of course, but I wonder whether it prevails will the target always win on average?Īre you just looking for reassurance and consolation for your lack of achievement with your university education?

If they went to a top school, it is almost always mentioned. Just look at news reports about new CEOs. This doesn't mean you can't make it, if you didn't, but the person who has Harvard in his resume will always gain more attention than the one with some less stellar school.
What matters is if you went to a great university or not. Nobody cares if you went to a non-target or a semi-target, though. Atleastimnotabanker:It will always matter, which university you went to.
