The comments here are generally super confusing to me. Are there companies in San Francisco who actually give a shit about where you went to college? I've only been here for 5 years, but I spent 2 or so of those just bouncing around from startup to startup doing consulting work. I've never worked with anyone who gave a shit about what college people went to. Literally, none. The startups I've joined have been predominantly staffed with college dropouts (even including a high school dropout or two), and a lot of the best engineers I know here have no degrees. Where are all these startups that are hiring based on credentials?
