If you look at the list of companies doing on-campus recruiting this year, there was only one (WH Trading) that was even vaguely related to tech/programming. Why is that? Is it because our compsci department is less well known (and smaller) than at other schools? Is it because the CRC doesn't do outreach to tech companies?
I've found the CRC really unhelpful in finding tech internships, and I assume it's the same for finding tech jobs. However, I understand it's probably not a priority given that the Econ department, for example, is about 20 times our size.

It's just easier to bring in the big players and try to employ as many students as you can. That means it's up to you to speak up, use the tools at your disposal (linkedin, wescan) to find the people who are more than willing to help, and to make the opportunity for yourself.
