Do you think being from IIT matters after 4 years of experience

I was discussing with a friend who is not from IIT and he was mentioning that being from IIT/IIM gives you and edge throughout your career. I on the other hand think that after a decent years of experience, your works speaks for itself

Those first 4 years will decide their later trajectory. Everything leads to the next thing. So yeah, IIT gives you that head start and edge which is a gift that keeps on giving.

IIT also gives you a solid alumni network and you are only as good as your peer set. Enuf said - it’s without a doubt a brand that gives lasting value unless the person is a dud professionally and socially

Depends on the role. Research oriented roles like in Machine Learning would give preference to IIT/IISc grads.

It matters in terms of what others think of you. Bias doesn't go away regardless of how smart or dumb you actually are.
