theres a widespread tech skepticism of prestigious paths in things like law, consulting, banking etc.

feels more like east coast envy than good critiques. many of these are great jobs, people learn a ton, and end up leading many companies (including tech ones)

most people who aren't wired for these paths, or approach it cynically, or try to play optionality dont actually last that long or eventually find a more stable regular sort of job

i think for the most part the critique is less about these jobs and much broader in that more people dont seem to do interesting things path wise even if they have wealth and income earlier in life
