Startup School Radio: Campus Job Founders on Leaving Google and McKinsey
- roymurdock 11y agoOn CampusJob: I've always found the idea of product placement and marketing on college campuses to be antithetical to a "classic" college environment that promotes freedom of thought/speech and the exploration of ideas outside of the mundanities of corporate life. So I cringe when I read about companies that are putting Red Bull t-shirts on students and having them convince frats to buy red bull for mixers that they'll use for ragers. There was one company that was providing free branded bikes [1] to campuses which is useful for broke college students, but campus marketing is still just weird and distasteful in my mind. Maybe it's just me. On leaving Google & McKinsey: "Google and McKinsey, we could always go back to them if we needed to. But Campus Job now is an even better place to work. So we're happy." Better hope this quote doesn't show up in a re-hiring interview :) [1] http://www.freebikeproject.com/ http://www.freebikeproject.com/
