Are you a citizen? As I've very rarely heard of a fortune 500 company sponsoring a new grad's visa. I will mention that I've interviewed for Facebook in the past, and have found them to be very pretentious. The interview really made me not want to work for them. Also as a Gatech student as well, did you primarily do on-campus interviews E.g: Career Buzz. As I've found Career Buzz to really suck at getting students jobs. You're talking like 50+ students interviewing for 1 job. And the interviewers are looking for that closet nerd most of the time. I kind of have a philosophy that if its a good job, the company doesn't need to approach students. The students will approach them.

Not a citizen. Haha to be perfectly honest the only reason I wanted to work at Facebook was because of the perks. They pay well plus you aren't spending much at all on food / gym / laundry / etc. so you can save quite a bit if you live frugally. Plus the network in the event I wanted to venture out on my own. Anyways yes most of my non-citizen friends applied to 20-50 jobs using spreadsheets and all that. I was a little late to get my act on like I mentioned in my initial post, and as a result I clicked on all the apply buttons for CS or related jobs on Career Buzz. For startups I emailed co-founders / applied to their open positions. Anyway one of my friends was a Korean and is now serving in the army, so is the Israeli kid that lived down the hall, so atleast I'm a little better off?
