The Role of Prestigious Families, Top Universities, and Leading Enterprises
If your parents are wealthy, powerful, or have resources in certain industries, what does that mean? It means that if you meet the threshold, you'll get promoted.
Young leaders of the Toyota family start at the bottom of their own conglomerate and work their way up step by step to the top position. What the media doesn't tell you is this: If you entered the company at the same time as him and achieved the same results, you might not get promoted. He only needs to pass at each step to get promoted, while even outstanding performance on your part only gives you a chance. But if you can't meet such performance standards, you definitely won't get promoted.
The real value of a prestigious university mainly comes down to whether you're given opportunities.
For this job, Zhang San can do it, Li Si can do it, and you can do it too—everyone knows this. The real question is: will they give it to you? Will they or won't they?
Finally, there's the "prestigious company" factor, which affects your career development speed.
If you spend two years at a well-known company after graduation and build your resume, then jump around later, it's a huge advantage compared to starting at an obscure company. The benefit saves you several years. In an environment where it's hard to find a job after 35, saving several years is extremely significant—like in cultivation novels, if your training speed isn't fast enough, you can't survive the tribulation.
