Americans are taught to believe that upward mobility is possible for anyone who is willing to work hard, regardless of their social status, yet it is often those from affluent backgrounds who land the best jobs. Pedigree takes readers behind the closed doors of top-tier investment banks, consulting firms, and law firms to reveal the truth about who really gets hired for the nation's highest-paying entry-level jobs, who doesn’t, and why.
Drawing on scores of in-depth interviews as well as firsthand observation of hiring practices at some of America’s most prestigious firms, Lauren Rivera shows how, at every step of the hiring process, the ways that employers define and evaluate merit are strongly skewed to favor job applicants from economically privileged backgrounds. She reveals how decision makers draw from ideas about talent—what it is, what best signals it, and who does (and does not) have it—that are deeply rooted in social class. Displaying the "right stuff" that elite employers are looking for entails considerable amounts of economic, social, and cultural resources on the part of the applicants and their parents.
Challenging our most cherished beliefs about college as a great equalizer and the job market as a level playing field, Pedigree exposes the class biases built into American notions about the best and the brightest, and shows how social status plays a significant role in determining who reaches the top of the economic ladder.
Lauren A. Rivera is associate professor of management and organizations at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
Rivera is trying to show that kids from certain background might get advantage over getting elite jobs. Students from working class might do very good in school, but they might loose those opportunities. An alright read - could be shorter. It might also could be used as parenting material for those parent like myself ;)

评分在美国能进入一流投资银行、管理咨询公司、律师事务所这类公司的人就是精英阶层,收入是全美家庭的前10%,薪水是从事其他工作毕业生的2-4倍。 虽然在理论上所有人都可以参加竞争,但实际上,仍然只有少数表现出与特权身份有关的高地位符号的人才能进入这些利润丰厚、令人艳羡的...
