What is your recommendation to companies that go to Rice for hiring?
If it's for CS, don't bother. The kids're mainly set on FANG and while they're somewhat skilled the ones that show up at fairs are pretty milquetoast.
If you want the smart ones who aren't risk-averse, look at who's drinking at Valhalla. Also, look for graduates of Wong's 410/415 sequence if it's still offered.

- angersock 8y agoNot quite what I was getting at. It's more that, as a hiring fair thing, you're gonna be running up against the folks that are looking for enterprisey (say, Schlumberger) or FANG jobs. The culture there isn't one that is super startup-friendly.
