University of Toronto - Reputation in USA

What’s the reputation like of U of T engineers in the valley or FANG? Does it hold weight? Kind of concerned about applying to places and companies perhaps ignoring me based on where I went to school.

Doesn't hold much weight.... If any

If I didn't live in Toronto for a few years, I'd have never even heard of UofT. It's a non starter.

If I didn’t get a job in US, I’ve never even heard of the country US yet.

It is a solid tier 2. Canadian schools admit almost entirely based on GPA, so academic meritocracy is largely maintained.

Nobody gives a shit about your school after a few years out of school (unless you have a PhD)

arguably, advisor matters more in the latter case

U of T is one of the top 25 schools worldwide and has an excellent reputation. For CS in particular, and really only for CS, Waterloo edges it out.

UofT is better for grad school,

^UofT for CS Grad School in a ML/DL/CV related field is extremely good
