Re: How important is the "Brand" Name of the University?
Actually its the other way around
Not only big companies do recruiting seminars in big name univ, but the professors get grants from big corporations and the students who are part of the research work have good chance of getting a job in those companies.
for second job onwards, big name univ. does not matter that much..
but MIT or any other big name on your resume does make a differnce
Interesting!
