Actually no. The industry has changed a great deal in just the last 5 years. I think the days of just having Google or Apple on your resume and getting another gig are over. The only thing having a high profile company on your resume says is that you likely need a high salary. It's just cheaper to higher the new CS grad for $80k year.
- discreteevent 10y ago"The only thing having a high profile company on your resume says is that you likely need a high salary" - It might say that you have some experience that could save the new company a lot of money. "It's just cheaper to higher the new CS grad for $80k year." - $80k is only the debit side of the balance sheet so so "cheaper" is correct. But "more economical" might not be.

- javier2 9y agoI recently changed jobs, and most I realized companies are atrocious at hiring. I came from a bigger company that invests heavily in hiring. They spend tons of cash and employee time in activities to spur hiring, and it's the only place I've worked full time. I found it a bit surprising that many other companies only do a few interviews, use only external recruiters and have never tried to do any form of publicity nor recruiting event. Many of them had not even looked at my Github profile.
- ryanSrich 10y agoI don't disagree. You give hiring managers too much credit though.
