What company? Google, Meta, Microsoft?

I know so many Reedies at those companies and they are all laughing at you.

Meant *NOT* surprising to see UMD on the list

This list lays something bare...the only Cal State on the list is SJSU, and if you look at the list adjusted for student enrollment, even that is missing.

So if you want to work in big tech, go to a UC school, in particular Berkeley, UCLA, UCI and UCSD.

It isn't surprising to see UMD on the list. I think a lot of the students there are more local, so it makes sense that they would find a job near to where they grew up/live.

The other schools are more "destination" selective schools where students go a long way away from home, and hence, will go to their ideal job, even if it isn't near their hometown.

Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Duke, GA Tech, Northeastern, MIT, Rice, etc. attract students from all over the world.

It's not hidden anymore.
100K applications and single digit acceptance rate. There's a thread asking why it's popular. This is one of the reasons.

Cause and effect flipped. These companies cast a extremely wide net, and hire sharp math/coder people, and those are the schools those people choose. The school doesn't make them hireable.

Alphabet, Airbnb, DocuSign, HubSpot, LinkedIn, Meta, Microsoft, Snapchat, Salesforce, Stripe, Twilio, and Twitte

Docusign? That’s a very strange company for this list…but I also think the list is several years old. Twilio and Twitter are also strange, especially considering Twitter fired 80% of the company 18 months ago.

One would expect Netflix, Nvidia, OpenAi and others.

Northeastern is not a feeder to Silicon Valley.

You do realize you are commenting on a thread with a list of the top tech feeder schools to Silicon Valley, and Northeastern is on the list?

ok I’ll go slow so pay attention - SV is not the only tech hub in the US - I’m commenting on top feeder schools for tech - Boston trails only SV as a tech hub in the US, and Northeastern is a significant feeder into the Boston tech community

I'll go even slower. You stated Northeastern is not a feeder to Silicon Valley. The list is explicit to silicon valley. Northeastern is on the list.

Pretty amazing that a college like Cornell places so high, yet there is no high tech at all where it is located.

The funny thing is, that list is pretty much the average tik tok/youtuber applying to college list. For some reason tech/Silicon Valley have an outsized influence on those types of media personalities.
