Someone was talking about company prestige. How do you define prestige? Is it just how difficult it is to get in? That's how university prestige is defined.

    It’s the increase in probability of getting laid (without paying) by associating with said object.

    In context of work - achieving a position that is considered to be difficult to attain (typically from lots of competition) by which others will say “wow” when they find out where you work or what you do

      Interesting! I wasn’t familiar with that.

      I’ll add then that it’s also a competitive position specifically for intellectual positions that are high paying.

      Knowing Walmart is really hard to get into makes me respect the employees they do have there even more though.

      I think the competition for Walmart comes from the sheer size of the potential applicant pool for the relatively small number of open position. However rejection also happens to overqualified people because employers don’t want high turnover from employees that have many options.
