ivy ceiling

The point in a large corporation at which you cannot proceed up the ladder for lack of an ivy league degree. Talent will not take you past this point, only your pedigree and connections. It's one of the few ceilings that you can see; it looks like the incompetent, but connected assholes in the c-suites.
I hit the ivy ceiling. He was a pudgy fat ass, and it felt good.
