Big Tech / FAANG employs only a fraction of university graduates each year though. I have interviewed many candidates for a FAANG over several years, and I try to not bias myself on whether they went to an Ivy or not. That said, I have also heard that some deca-unicorn gave up going to non prestigious schools for recruiting because the hit rate was low. This deca unicorn was previously proud of outsmarting other big companies by finding diamonds in the rough by recruiting at no name schools. To some high schoolers reading this: I wouldn't discount the value of a prestigious school to 0. It is not a prerequisite for success, but it will likely make it easier.
