Of course the bay area does hire tons of state university hires. I'm one of them. My first job was a fang. My undergrad wasn't in the top 100, my grad was maybe in the top 50, not sure but probably #50 ;-). I did a lot of programming in school, I practiced interview questions before I went. I've always been puzzled why other people run into this wall and can't break through.
