Does it affect job search and getting calls?
I'm asking this question because the companies I'm willing to apply for companies that doesn't visit my college.

Ex- Atlassian, Salesforce, Flipkart etc.

Please add some thoughts.

  • Initially yes. It definitely increases visibility. But once you have any brand on your resume, it's just as good as a top college

  • Once you are 4-5 years into the industry, no one cares what college you were in, your track record and interviews will speak for itself. But for the initial 2 years it does, its much easier to get interview calls if you are from tier 1

    • And we have to understand that. I see a lot of posts on linkedin making fun of tier1 students as it is all their fault. But think from the recruiters point of view, if we can invite only one person for an interview which would we rather invite? It reduces to the game of chances

    Definitely yes. A tier 1 college will definitely shortlist you for every company you apply. Cracking it, depends on you.

      Tbh OP. You'd have hard time getting calls. But once you get to some FANNGMULA type companies then you would get calls from almost every company, even if you apply on careers page.

      This is my personal experience.
