具体描述

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.

读后感

大多数美国人认为努力工作，而不是高贵的血统，是成功的关键。教科书、报纸、小说中充斥着霍雷肖·阿尔杰（Horatio Alger）笔下的故事，即个人凭借强大的动力和坚韧最终跻身上流社会。这些故事，无论聚焦于沃伦·巴菲特（Warren Buffett）的传奇经历，还是《风雨哈佛路》（Home...

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...

去精英公司面试，考察能力是一方面，其实面试官作为精英阶层的守门人，更看重的是你能不能融入圈子，毕竟谁也不想和气场不符的人共事。“精英们”所崇尚的品质就是，这群人照着镜子认为自己所具有的品质。此书更实际的意义在于指导了如何能进入这些精英公司。要让面试官觉得你...

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 ;)

如果精英公司的招聘在美国是一种再生产的话，那么当这些精英公司进入中国，他们的招聘流程就是一种生产：它们将原有的不平等转变成了一种新的形式，通过公司文化带来的“资本”改变人的惯习，让旧的精英成为新的精英。
