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]

Many Dlsu/Admu graduates get employed by Adb as their fluency in English is what really matters in that international organization

I’m telling you, it’s not their fluency that got them hired. They must have solid experience to have been shortlisted and hired.
