Is IIT IIM tag worth it? I hear it works in the matrimony market if not in the job market

Since grapevine is a tech-heavy platform, many might suggest that it is not worth it.

In most roles outside tech, it is still very relevant.

PS: I'm a non IIT-IIM and an exceptional performer throughout my career. "Where their struggles start, my dreams end" :)

I'll tell you an inside secret why people prefer folks from IIT/IIM.

It's because of their perspective, risk taking ability and aspirations. People from tier 1 clg generally aspire to become big and they are intrinsically motivated to do whatever it takes to achieve things.

They have a larger perspective towards life since they are exposed to a lot of things in college.

And that's it. I'm not saying that all IIT/IIM folks have this, or other folks don't have it. It's just that IIT/IIM graduates have worked hard to get there and already proven that they have that fire.

Everyone who doesn't have it will say it really doesn't matter. Those who have it will know how much easier it made their life seem compared to others.

Didn't help my batchmates.
TC matters the most.

True. Avoid at all costs
