Yes, I actually already went on linkedIn and checked to see how many people from my school got jobs at FAANG companies (including Intel). There were very few, and most of them have non-engineering related bachelor's degrees. Only one of them was an engineer at google.
When you look at Georgia Tech graduates on linkedIn, the opposite is true. Hence, me making this thread.
Don't get me wrong though, my school does seem to be pretty decent at getting people local jobs. But that wasn't really my goal personally. I want to escape my home town.
- giantg2 6y agoIs that straight numbers or percentages? The bigger school has more people, making it more likely to have some get into FAANG. PSU is huge and some students go on to FAANG, but that wouldn't increase any individual's chances. If you go to someplace like Stanford or MIT, then maybe those names help you get in due to the prestige, but I don't think Georgia Tech is that level.
- paat 6y agoJust numbers. And yes you make a good point. I do think Georgia Tech is a top school for computer science though.
