Just like everyone can't be a multi-billion paid CEO for a international mega-corp, not everyone can be a engineering whiz at a big & famous international mega-corp. Some things are just down to luck. Instead of focusing only on the "big ones", just go get your first good job elsewhere. The important part isn't which company it is, but that the job makes you happy and satisfied. Once there take the opportunities you can and work your way up gradually. You may not end up where you thought you would or where you planned, but if you stayed focused on job-satisfaction all the way through, you'll end up somewhere you'll be happy to stay. And that's much more important than working for a famous mega-corporation. Edit: My attitude and opinions towards job-satisfaction are obviously not overly appreciated here on HN. Watch me care :)
