Even if Stanford were a public school with a well-developed CS program, it's still the nearest notable school. Is there a shock that Amazon and Microsoft hire a lot of UW grads?
- jonlucc 12y agoThere are many reasons close schools would have an advantage. I would be surprised if there aren't adjunct faculty at Stanford from Google (and UW from Microsoft) and interns sometimes prefer local opportunities to those far away. It might be interesting to look at which colleges they hire from, but just drop Stanford (or control for the number of miles from Mountain View.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoGoogle probably hires more UW grads than Microsoft (and definitely at the PhD level). Back when I was an undergraduate, even intel hired more than Microsoft (replace google for intel these days).
