Asking for a friend. Do you think it is worth attending Grace Hopper in person this year as a student (paying for tickets/accommodation out of pocket)? Does it increase chances of getting internship or full-time offer after interviewing on the spot? TC of a friend: 0
I know a few girls that definitely got their internships and jobs directly from GCH. But I obviously can't speak for everyone.
It helps in getting interviews. Not sure if it increases chances or not.
I went a few years ago. It was a wonderful experience. Make sure to apply for a scholarship to help with the cost! Many companies and schools offer it.
Other than Google/anita borg, what companies have scholarships to go to GC?
I applied to google, Facebook, Goldman, salesforce, and my university had one as well!
It helps a ton in getting interviews. A lot of companies have a specific pipeline for grace hopper candidates. Even if you don’t go, definitely be ready to submit your resume as soon as that opens up!
pretty worth from what I've seen
Schools will subsidize ticket costs. Reach out to advisor
Thanks!
I wasn't able to find any company that sponsors this time. Could someone help me find sponsorship for GHC. The anitaborg deadline has passed
I think it's absolutely worth going if you can afford it. Many of my friends got offers from interviews conducted at Grace Hopper. That being said, it is quite expensive for a student. There are a few scholarships available so definitely look for them and apply.
Anyone has an idea if there would any electrical or hardware companies coming in? My friend is doing her masters in Electrical with VLSI focus
