About this episode
We explore prestige and how the pursuit of prestigious positions or companies impacts us in different ways, from the stories we tell to the positions we take.
It's understandable that we use prestige to catch eyes when a notable name might buy us a few more seconds in front of a potential employer. We're naturally going to consider what working in a particular position or at a particular company means as we decide which recruiter calls to return and where to put our energy.
And that's what we're diving into on today's podcast.
How we tend to use prestige as conversational shorthand and whether the "brand name", be it the company or the title, is enough.
We close today's episode with some helpful action steps to examine our relationship with prestige and recognize the power of knowing our story and deciding how we will share it.
