Job market is brutal for SWEs 🥲
People are f*cking crazy about this list. Spoke with a college student yesterday and she introduced herself as a forbes 30 under 30 scholar and it completly blew my mind that they even had one for students. Am I the only one who thinks that the founders and people in the list are not as impressive as they seem?
No one cares about these lists.
You'd be surprised
Nope. I will just think they are ignorant.
I saw someone on my LinkedIn Feed who got that. Didn’t look very impressive. And I say that as lazyman.
Respect.
^ This and the individual in my LinkedIn was like literally some loud mouth influencer
It's a paid for personal brand thing. All you need is a lot of cash for your age, enough social media likes, speaking skills, and something cheap to say
Oh is that all ?
I agree it's all together a ego-fest but none of those criteria are it lol. Plenty don't come from typical well off background or have large social followings. What it's more about is networking and knowing people that are judges or were past 30u30 and can nominate you. I'm sure there's a correlation between those things and winning ofc
It is just one more accolade to claim. There are definitely some extremely impressive people on those lists but I would never use it as a sole barometer to judge someone's professional reputation.
Of course not, but some of them flex it all over the place
Definitely a more rigged system, don’t think anyone really pays attention to it in the works of finance. Mostly just a looks thing out side the world of finance
Or the Ivy League
Salty about the Ivy League @tendrgreen?
It’s bought, not earned. It isn’t rated by anyone other than those on the list.
What college did she go to?
San Diego state lol
Was she trying to get a referral from you or something?
Being a "scholar" actually means way less than you think -- you're NOT on the list itself, you just get the privilege of getting to attend the conference for free (where they have the people from the actual list). Not like that's gonna stop these scholars from playing up the 30 under 30 label though.
Yeah this is worth clarifying: Forbes 30 Under 30 Scholar is NOT the same as being on the list itself. The Scholars means they got approved to attend a conference. NOT that they’re one of the 30 on the list.
haha big facts, I'm a scholar and the thing is meaningless....still on my resume tho 😂
I was a Forbes 30u30 scholar, absolutely useless. All you get is free tickets, still have to pay for flights and hotel. Plus there's no official scholar list and there's like a few hundred per year.
Lol was it worth it to go? Feel like at the end of the day it could’ve been a good networking opportunity at the very least
ya i mean title not worth much but definitely enjoyed the experience haha. Got to fly across country (I live in CA, event was in Boston), skip midterms, and get drunk with random kids my age. Open bars everywhere. Thing is tho very few of the actual 30u30 go so I was expecting to meet Steph Curry and stuff but none of them showed up
My friend got into Forbes 30 under 30 asia. He was dumb as a stump, had a very rich dad
Are you sure that’s your friend 😫😂
Is his father a doctor ?
