Big Tech's new recruits are skipping out on college, and tech companies are encouraging it
Welcome back to our Sunday edition, where we round up some of our top stories and take you inside our newsroom. Happy Father's Day to all of the committed and inspiring dads out there. I know I'm forever grateful to mine, Larry Heller, for his love and advice over the years — including about Business Insider! You might not know who Alexandr Wang is, but you're about to. Meta effectively just spent about $15 billion to hire the 28-year-old CEO of Scale AI, BI's Peter Kafka writes. On the agenda today: VC's new favorite guessing game: Who is Arfur Rock, the " Gossip Girl of Silicon Valley"? Advice from Goldman Sachs insiders for the 2025 intern class. From buying a house to job-hopping, taking a big financial risk is scarier than ever. Potential big changes to private-equity recruiting could benefit us all. But first: Forget college degrees. If this was forwarded to you, sign up here. Download Business Insider's app here. This week's dispatch Big Tech is turning against college Julia Hornstein covers tech and other startups in the defense sector for Business Insider. One increasingly common refrain from some leaders in this space is their disdain for higher education. I talked with Julia about her recent, great, in-depth article on the subject. Is the negative view on higher education from some tech leaders more about the value of school versus experience, or what's being taught in schools? It's both. The founders I spoke to see college as expensive and inefficient. Top four-year schools can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some don't want to miss the AI boom while in class. Others want to become financial providers as soon as possible. Some also perceive an ideological tilt at universities, a belief that the Trump administration has also espoused. One founder who has built a billion-dollar company told me he doesn't see value in a liberal arts education and has "yet to meet people that consistently rave about that as being super useful." Palantir is ideologically opposed to college coursework, too. Its CEO, Alex Karp, said in his new book that colleges are "walled off from the world." The Meritocracy Fellowship, the company's internship for high school grads, tells applicants to " skip the indoctrination" of college. Skipping college for an opportunity in tech or startups isn't uniquely a defense tech phenomenon. I interviewed non-college founders building marketing platforms, AI startups, and nuclear fusion companies. That said, many in defense tech question higher education. Palantir cofounder and investor Peter Thiel, who has both a BA and JD from Stanford, has called higher ed "the worst institution we have." Joe Lonsdale, another Palantir cofounder and a venture capitalist, cofounded a college in Austin in 2022 out of a frustration "with how modern universities stifle free thought and academic diversity," he wrote. Some founders I spoke with decided to ditch college in their early teens. A few dropped out of high school. The Palantir fellows are different: For now, they told me, they're taking a gap year and holding their seats in college. Their decision about college might depend on whether Palantir makes them a full-time offer they can't refuse. Silicon Valley's little whisperer Serena & co. had Gossip Girl, and Bridgerton has Lady Whistledown. Silicon Valley has Arfur Rock, the anonymous X user who posts scoopy info about startups and VC. Identifying only as an "anon GP at your favorite multistage-VC," Rock has the tech industry in a twist over their true identity. Some regard Rock's transparency as a breath of fresh air, while others question their motives. Here's what Rock told BI about the guessing game. Dear Goldman Sachs interns … About 2,600 students are kicking off their summer at the investment bank. Working on Wall Street can be overwhelming, though, so BI spoke with three former Goldman interns who rose through the ranks. They encourage interns to bring a positive attitude, share fresh ideas, and take advantage of the "coffee culture." How to land a postgrad offer. Also read: Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon to interns: 'The only constant is change.' See the letter. Meet the 0.4% of students who made it into Citadel's 2025 summer intern program — the firm's lowest acceptance rate yet. Big financial risks are scary right now Recession worries and inflation are keeping Americans on the edge of their seats. Some are stuck in their jobs, and others are reminiscing about the days of dirt-cheap mortgage rates. BI's Emily Stewart broke down how Americans are confronting this uncertainty — and what that means for their spending. While it may not be the best time to take a big leap, the impact on the broader economy can be even trickier to decipher. Stuck reading tea leaves. PE takes a pause The path to a prestigious corner of Wall Street is hitting a roadblock. JPMorgan and Apollo recently announced plans to slow down the ever-earlier recruitment of junior bankers to PE jobs. The decision created shockwaves among young Wall Streeters, who had spent years preparing for the well-worn recruiting cycle that's now been put on hold. But the impact could extend well beyond those in finance. And it's not a bad thing. Also read: Jamie Dimon just made good on his promise to crack down on bankers with hush-hush private equity jobs Apollo pulls the plug on a hiring practice for junior bankers that Jamie Dimon called 'unethical.' General Atlantic halts a recruiting practice blasted by Jamie Dimon a day after Apollo also slammed the brakes. This week's quote: "It's human nature to gravitate toward shortcuts." — Cedric Bryant, the president and CEO of the American Council on Exercise, on Americans' desire for quick-fix fitness hacks. More of this week's top reads: Oracle appears to have named two new presidents. Dell wanted everyone back in the office five days a week. Employees say it's been open to interpretation.

Shake Shack Thinks It's Time for a Slogan. What Should it Be?
Shake Shack has had a hard time succinctly capturing why people love its food and beverages, but it's working on creating a slogan, CFO Katie Fogerty said at a conference. The company has tapped the minds behind Arby's "We have the meats" tagline for the effort, she said. Fogerty said a company catchphrase could help drive up traffic, but Shake Shack hasn't yet incorporated this momentum into its growth has its 'America runs on Dunkin'' tagline. McDonald's has 'I'm lovin' it,' while Taco Bell has 'Live Más.' But can you recall Shake Shack's slogan? That's a trick question: The company doesn't have one. However, one's coming, according to CFO Katie Fogertey, who believes it needs a succinct way to convey what makes its burgers, fries and shakes beloved. Shake Shack (SHAK) hired a chief communications officer last year whose responsibilities include crafting a catchphrase for the chain, Fogertey said at a conference last week. CEO Rob Lynch and the chief communications officer, Luke DeRouen, have tapped the team behind Arby's 'We have the meats' slogan, Fogertey said. They 'really had a lot of strong track record on creating a brand slogan, a brand meaning that has driven deep consumer adoption,' Fogertey said, according to a transcript made available by AlphaSense. 'That's just something we haven't had before.' Executives at Shack Shack, which opened 11 new restaurants in the first quarter, think the company's brand has room to run. "We've never really had a true brand positioning distilled down and communicated across all of our channels," Lynch said earlier this month. "So that's work that we're doing right now." A slam-dunk slogan could drive long-term growth, according to Fogertey. 'That's not really contemplated in our long-term [growth algorithm,' she said. 'But as we kind of think about where those potential upside levers are, it's something that really gets me excited.' Annual same-store sales are expected to grow year-over-year in the low single-digit percent range in the year ahead, Shake Shack said on an earnings conference call in May. The outlook assumes import taxes, including the scaled back deficit-based tariffs, remain stable. Read the original article on Investopedia Sign in to access your portfolio
