[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think going abroad for a good education is very reasonable today. The costs of college in the US are absurd.

The problem is that people in human resources in the US tend to be absolute morons. And very parochial. Without connections, that's the barrier young people need to get through.

Makayla in human resources has no idea what ETH Zurich or Imperial College are. So those resumes go in the trash.

The Makaylas in America make things difficult for new graduates. Combined with AI sorting, and it's going to be tough for grads coming out of overseas colleges. [/quote]

I’m the PP who is hiring manager at a Fortune 20. Look, if you have a degree from ETH Zurich or Imperial and are putting your future on The parochial Makaylas of America, you are doing this wrong. I’m sorry. Someone with a degree from ETH or Imperial know exactly what companies they want to look for and let me tell you, these companies, even their “Makaylas”, like me, know all about ETH or Imperial.

If kids are going abroad to high regarded unis in the UK or EU and are expecting to come back to America to work for a no name brand company, they are doing this all wrong. Might as well stay in the US.

Again, we do not hire outside of top 30-40 in the US depending on the region. But we do hire from top 15 in the UK and from several of the top EU unis all the time. But we do not hire from any other US school…..[/quote]
