    TC defines prestige. Google is "prestigious" only among certain asians.

    • "Google is prestigious only among certain Asians" is obviously what I am referring to. Google is prestigious for a variety of different reasons. We could argue those reasons but it is Not among "certain Asians"

      I mentioned only certain asians because there'a specific group of people on blind that fanboy/jizz over Google.

      If State farm pays $600K, then State farm is more prestigious than Google. This shouldn't be debatable. Would you work at Google for $350K vs State farm $600k?

      Soon Google will face IBM, Intel, Cisco treatment. They lost their edge when they stopped paying top of the market. People still use IBM/Intel/Cisco products everyday, yet we don't envy any of their employees. Google is still paying like 80% of the top of the market value, so it's still relevant.

    Can you buy a house/car/watch/vacation with โ€œprestigeโ€? By all means follow your passion, but always look after number 1 (you). That said, donโ€™t be penny wise, pound foolish. If the prestige provides a significantly higher probability of something great later on, then run that calculus. Itโ€™s the same reason some go to harvard with loans over state school for free.
