You forgot to add that many of these sons/daughters of rich conglomerates tend to be from UK universities where they can afford to party like no tomorrow everyday and achieve a 2:2, yet they are guaranteed employment in the Big 4, boss the partners around and end work at 5pm.

While other assocs who achieve much stellar grades in local universities end up grinding behind the scenes till dawn while getting zero recognition and always at the receiving end of verbal abuse.

Life can be cruel, especially to those who didn't strike the financial lottery when they are born. That's why I never understood why local grads care so much about grades and flex on UK grads, when all that matters is your family status.
