[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed a few posters indicating that they side eye or give extra scrutiny to resumes from elite school graduates. While this may be true, it's also not relevant, because they likely don't work at places that most elite school graduates want to work. The occasional washout drifts your way, no big deal.[/quote]

FAANG is full of people who don’t just side-eye elite school graduates, they put them at the bottom of the pile (the exceptions being MIT/CMU, etc.). Sorry to break it to you. [/quote]

What is OCR and why does FAANG do it at elite schools.[/quote]

On-campus recruiting is done more often at elite schools because it's more efficient (higher concentration of skilled workers), but they're smart enough to realize that the total number of desirable applicants at non-elite colleges far outweighs the number at elite schools. The former may need to be more proactive in their job searches, although there's plenty of OCR happening at non-elites, too.[/quote]
