Top 10 US Universities That Produce the Most Staff for Global Tech Firms

Everyone has their own standards.  We all want certain things from our jobs.  I'm not a tech guy in any way and so I have no interest at all in working for these companies.  I've heard stories of lots of money and crazy hours.  I just don't know if it's true.  People do seem to want to work for these companies but is it just the money?

I'd say career benefits and prestige too. Other high paying companies are happy to recruit people from big tech companies.

The money isn't always great, compared to what you're supposed to do. But you get to say that you worked for that company in the past and a lot of (better) employers would love to hire employees from those companies. It's like extra proof that you actually know what you're doing and the 2nd employer doesn't have to verify anything, Google/FB/Microsoft/etc. already did!
