[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is good at handling high peer pressure from CMU, then go for it. Not only the name, but also the network. For big tech companies, internal referral is one of the most effective ways to land a decent job. The cost (tuition/scholarship) gap will be paid off in a few years if the kid is competitive. You may check software engineers compensation package from [b]FLAG [/b]to confirm. [/quote]

What's FLAG?  How is it different from FAANG?[/quote]

FLAG: facebook, linkedin, amazon/apple, google

FAANG: facebook, amazon, apple, netflix, google

No big difference.

Also look into their work culture.  Amazon has a poor reputation.  Their people use a bottle bc the company gives no bathroom breaks.  I suppose software engineers have it better since engineers can invent their own holes on the ground, cans and johns.  The really smart CS grads often turn down FAANG companies to go work for less known start-ups.  [/quote]
