/sci/ - Science & Math

The idea that companies are hiring from MIT and the like because they focus on more theory & math is totally false and disconnected from the real world like >>9576628 suggest.

COMPANIES WANT CODE MONKEYS. They want people that know frameworks and will hire a bootcamp graduate that knows a particular framework OVER a university graduate that knows lots of math and theory.

I found that out the hard way. People in industry tend not to care if you have a degree, know algorithms, know data structures, know advance math. It boils down to whether you can use their frameworks. This of course excludes the big 4 and their ilk, but majority of the jobs outside of the big 4 and their ilk literally would flush your degree down the toilet, if you cannot solve their take home projects (which most theory people would fail) or pass their framework driven interviews (most theory people would fail this too) then you won't be hired as a software engineer and your 4-year CS + Pure math degree is an utter waste.

They prefer vocational training over university training and you can tell >>9576628 has no touch with the real world.
