Why Ivy League Students Can't Get Hired

День тому

Today, I walk around Princeton ask computer science questions like how to get hired, hardest classes on campus, best and worst programming languages, and if they have any other advice. You'll want to watch till the end because many of these students have interned at FAANG and trading companies and done 50+ interviews. Today, they finally reveal all their secrets.

lol semantics. For these guys when they say “can’t get a job” they mean they can’t get the job they want, which is typically a job at some quant trading firm where cs new grads from top universities can make 200k + 50k sign on bonuses at 22 years old. Ivy kids are still in a league of their own trust me

a easy linked in filter search for princeton alumni compared to cmu, and i see a vast difference in where princeton grads end up at, the job market is bad for everyone but ivy still opens the most doors @@Jwellsuhhuh

Recruiting is tough. I'm about to graduate from a T3 CS school and barely anyone I know has secured an internship, or the ones that did rarely got a return offer. Just need to keep on grinding and recognize that in the end everything works out and falls into place!

@SkyTheGuy8 Місяць тому

are the engineers doing any better? Like computer/electrical engineers getting hardware jobs/internships or something

@noire.5573 Місяць тому

@@SkyTheGuy8 honestly, hardware engineering is even harder to break into from my experience (especially at top places like NVIDIA, Apple, Intel etc) because there are less spots so you have to be at your a-game and know the fundamentals well. I spoke too soon because I finally got an offer in software, and a lot of people I know have been as well. So it just takes time and perseverance.

The mum of that Chinese lad was smart. I loved coding but I was sick doing it day and night for decades, and I was even more frustrated in constantly picking up new coding skills. 😂 At the end I quit. I also gave similar advice to my son who is about to embark his degree. I encouraged him to do any professional degree including quant, dentistry, medicine, medical physics, or anything. He has recently chosen a data science degree. IMO, more maths/physics and less computer would be better.

Biggest thing I've noticed having studied at both a non-Ivy and Ivy is that people who have career specific goals or well defined and researched academic goals have better success rates since they're not trying to be a cheap jack of all trades. In essence, the only reason why I liked the Ivy's is because you're with like minded people. But if you go to a non-Ivy school with well thought out intentions and like minded, diverse people, then you're basically set. The only differentiating trait between the 2 is getting internships and/or jobs, but even that's non-trivial now

I regret not doing any internships. Just graduated from one of the top Cyber Security Unis in the UK but I put off internships every year because I was scared of rejection or sucking at my job. Feels like I've messed up my entire future with those series of decisions.

@johno3801 3 місяці тому

which UK uni? and all is not lost, you can work on yourself \ projects \ find your purpose , whilst still applying for grad schemes after you graduate. keep working on it and I believe in you bro. I am a 2nd Year Econ & CS student at Durham and my whole 1st term I was stuck in my room applying to over 100+ finance / swe placement years and I only got 1 offer back but It had to be done. all the best!

@eliana993 4 місяці тому

Python is a garbage language idk what you’re on about. It has so many pitfalls. The main one being that the interpreter has a lock and you can only use one thread. It’s not true multi threading.

its not that hard to understand studenets from ivy legue expect high salries in case 500k to 1mil they can literally hire for the same thing for 100k. and 10.people for 1 mil budget doing the same thing more work power means less less payout to individual and more leverage

500k to 1mil is not the typical expected salary of ivy league students.. thats an exaggeration.

@-BarathKumarS 6 місяців тому

All of this advice is useless,it only worked for them because they go to princeton. There is no magic formula here,recruiters will always prefer a princeton grad so unless you too are going to princeton/any top CS School. Just go and look at the profile of these priceton grads who are answering in the video and ses if you match up to their caliber then we'll talk.

@KingMikolaj 6 місяців тому

that's not true. The advice of getting an internship is crucial today with CS. You don't even need a degree and can just get internships and build a portfolio. Maybe some companies like the hedge funds might not look at you as much if you don't go to an Ivy, but there are plenty of other companies out there that will.

@-BarathKumarS 6 місяців тому

@@KingMikolaj B.S,most companies fliter straight through degrees that's the very first requirement. They won't even take a look at some resume with no degree

@AlricoAmona98 6 місяців тому

This depends. I know some quant firms are biased towards big schools with some recruiting excsluivesly from there but that is not to say it is the truth for other companies particularly companies like google. I've worked at google and other big tech companies despite not going to a "prestigious" school and I have encountered many students from non ivy schools at these companies. Ofcourse having a big name helps but it can only take you so far. A quality applicant is a quality applicant.
