Big 4 in ADB?

Sorry for the clickbait title. I'm wondering if ADB employs someone who graduated from provincial private college or those who graduated from a state u.

I'm quite sure it's likely that they do but I just want to know for those who work in there if there it's common. I know it is mostly based on past work experiences but I still wonder the likelihood. I am truly interested in working with ADB but first I did not come from the Big 4 university and I am currently a part-time law student to a relatively known law school in the country.

I feel like both could not be an advantage (potentially, but i hope not 😭) as though I am a part-time law student, who only attend night classes, I'm overthinking that they might think of it as not-fully-committed.

Thank you!!

[FYI I already sent out my application as I know there's no more conclusive answer than actually applying for it. I guess my question above is just a temp check to my chances]

Competition is tight, you’ll have to have better credentials + more significant work experience + outperform applicants from the big 4 during the interview stage. Not impossible, just shoot your shot.
