I have friends at UIUC and the difference in recruiting is night and day. I didn't get any response when I applied to Dropbox and Citadel over the last 2 years, but on the UIUC Computer Science Facebook page both companies post internship opportunities with direct recruiter emails, sometimes saying "anybody can interview" (for Dropbox). As someone who goes to a school of decent, but lower caliber this is a significant difference.
- Bahamut 11y agoI left grad school in a bit of a surprise move during the great recession, so I missed all of the recruiting opportunities when I left - it took me 2 1/2 years to find a job, but afterwards I've made every effort to stand out on my own merits.
