[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former ‘softie. There is some inherent arrogance in Tech so pedigree matters. On the East Coast for private school CS: MIT CMU Princeton Columbia Cornell [/quote] There is definitely arrogance in the tech industry but it is based around intelligence rather than pedigree. MIT and CMU are very respected due to their very rigorous undergraduate coursework. But when it comes to Ivies, and other top 'prestigious' privates, its the skill of the engineer moreso than the college. An Ivy grad who is mediocre will be looked down upon as dumb person who got in based on upbringing. For start-ups and what not though, being from an Ivy definitely helps in courting investment, slightly less so than MIT/CMU/Stanford. And for financial trading and quant firms based around NYC and Chicago, being from an Ivy is definitely a big advantage obviously [/quote]
