- te_chris 14y agoThat you'll make less money than people with the same skill set?
- prezjordan 14y agoNo, that our resumes aren't always thrown out.
- miloshadzic 14y agoI've never hired anyone nor been employed at a Silicon Valley company but this isn't banking so don't worry too much about people throwing out your resume because of where you went to school.
- mratzloff 14y agoYeah, a CS degree isn't judged the same way an MBA is.
- rzendacott 14y agoAs a C or D-tier school student, I'm jealous :p
- pseut 14y agoNot aimed at you specifically, but in no particular order... * Fill out your profile * List your interesting projects * Have interesting projects * Expect to be asked in a job interview, "so, what's your username on hacker news/stack overflow/whatever else" and post accordingly. (statements that are dumb in retrospect are fine; being an asshole all the time isn't). Again, in no way aimed at you specifically; but I'm constantly reading comments about job search and thinking, "I wonder what he/she is all about", click on their profile and... nothing.
- undershirt 14y agoI come from a no-tier satellite school, and I applied to two different startups in the valley. I did research and different internships, and had a github portfolio. I made it to a 4th and final interview, where they unfortunately decided I wasn't a good fit. Point is, they'll definitely look at you if you show them a decent portfolio.
