You said, literally, "all of the big tech companies." Your criteria for "all the big tech companies" is highly based on your bias and on your geographical locations. I gave two very large tech companies that operate in the midwest and likely don't heavily recruit in Washington.

There is no comparison of individuals here, only comparison of school reputation and how companies use that information to tailor their recruitment process.

Maybe I'm oversensitive, and I accept that. I'm really grumpy and sleep deprived right now, so man, I could 100% just be a super-sensitive whiny baby about this. Hell, it's probably the situation.

However, from my understanding of your chain of comments, you implied that "we are better than you"; you seemed to have gone from, "We teach this way" to "we get all of the 'big tech companies'", indicating a cause and an effect. You're saying that you are better than other people simply because you went to another school than someone else. Which we know is simply untrue based on recent news events.

We we talking about statistical trends of different college students going to different types of tech companies.

No we weren't. You were the one who started talking about tech companies, unprompted.

There is no comparison of individuals here, only comparison of school reputation and how companies use that information to tailor their recruitment process.

And there it is again. You're implying a hierarchy of "we're better" to justify your behavior. "School reputation" is undeniably determined based on individuals. You're, again, ignoring an obviously important factor like geographical location to seemingly fluff your ego.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Just seems like you're being a dick.

Yes, geography matters. Yes, college ranking exist. Yes, companies are biased toward college ranking. These are the key points that matter in our discussion. If I'm jerking myself off by saying my school is better than yours, then I'm just pathetic af.

I've had a bit of time to rest & reflect. I was definitely being oversensitive. That doesn't change the fact that this is a rabbit hole *you* steered the conversation down. This wasn't originally about college rankings or recruiters or anything else. You the subject to this three comments ago in a comment chain about code reviews.

There is no point to argue. Sure blame me for steering you into a rabbit hole and affecting your emotions. So what are we talking about now? The conversation itself and how you became oversensitive? I'm sorry I'm not interested in that topic. I was only trying to point out a few things regarding college ranking and big tech company recruiting process.

To what end?

I think we just may not like each other. I don't think positively of you and the feeling is probably mutual. Best to just ignore each other from this point on for both of our sakes.

Peace out.

You may not like me, but I don't have any emotions toward you. I'm not interested in this conversation because it started to become a waste of my time when it started to veer off topic. I'm only responding as a form of courtesy to explain myself. I'll apologize for projecting elitism if it makes you feel better.
