You can just beg for good. On a more serious note, I am not basing my opinion on employer choices...even though I argue that there are plenty.

- jayp 18y agoIntel, Yahoo, Qualcomm, Byte Mobile, Riverbed, Rigerglass, Australian Semiconductor (Motorola spin off), Amdocs, NCSA, Pattern Insight (UIUC research startup), Cazoodle (UIUC research startup), tons of other start ups (Snap and Buy, oneLLama, etc.), at the Univeristy of Illinois itself in IT or research programmer positions. This is just off the top of my head. Anyway, I do not want to enter a piss fight with you. I like C-U. If you don't, great. No one is forcing you to live here. I was merely suggesting it.
- tptacek 18y agoNeither Intel, nor Yahoo, nor Qualcomm appear to be hiring FTE's in Champaign (although I found an Intel temp position). Obviously, I didn't look very hard though. I don't doubt that there's a small constellation of UIUC-affiliated tech startups around Champaign, though the same thing exists in A2, in Austin, and in RTP. The benefit of A2 over Champaign is that you are almost guaranteed freelance (or FTE) work outside the school. I don't think Champaign is a safe career choice compared to A2, RTP, or even Pittsburgh. Sorry, it's a message board, I didn't mean to piss at you.
