A fictional early-career STEM graduate five years out of a non-Ivy college, with practical skills and an alumni network that cannot buy the first meeting. Watches entry-level jobs become senior requisitions and meritocracy acquire a referral link. Satire of credential barriers, not a judgment of schools or graduates.
