Does it matter what university you go to to get a job?
University reputation matters somewhat, but not as much as the universities would have you believe, when it comes to getting a job. By far the number one factor considered by most organizations that hire people is the individual – his or her accomplishments, attitude, and demonstrated knowledge and skills.
Does the Job You Want require a specific university degree?
It depends on the career you want to pursue. Jobs like software engineer or psychologist definitely require you to have a university degree. In addition, a licence is compulsory for some jobs. Without a degree, it is harder to gain work experience because most companies look to recruit university students as interns.
Does Google hire from Yale?
The distribution of CS majors to different tech companies is incredibly uneven. The top 5 employers — Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Bloomberg, and Palantir — all recruit on campus, but there are other tech companies who recruit on campus but who are part of this ‘long tail’ of companies that have hired very few Yalies.
Does it matter what university you graduate from?
Men with bachelor’s degrees earn $900,000 more in a lifetime, while women with degrees earn $630,000 more, according to data from the Social Security Administration, which also highlights the gender pay gap. So, in the end, it might not necessarily matter where a person went to college.
Do employers care about universities?
Certain industries, such as engineering, science and finance, will still look favourably on graduates from the top institutions. But in a lot of other sectors, especially roles which are less specific and technical, employers are turning towards different factors, like work experience and evidence of leadership.
What degree do you need to work at Google?

Should I go to a US university to get into Google?
And in that case, don’t assume you need to go to a US university; look in to the hiring stats, find the ones Google hires from all over the world, and go there. Also remember… even if Google is your goal, it is not a disaster if you end up working somewhere with a good culture, good pay, and good benefits.
How hard is it to get a job at Google?
Most jobs at Google are software engineers. It may not be as difficult as it seems to get a job there. Most candidates get surprised by the questions or do not know what the interviewer is looking for. Algorithms are their fav.
What should I do if I don’t get an internship at Google?
If you don’t get an internship (don’t count on it) then you’re unlikely to get hired straight in to Google after graduation (it does happen, but it’s rare) and so then you want to go find the something that makes you different; work for a network hardware company, or go work at a different university (PhDs are much cheaper for staff).
