What is your recommendation to companies that go to Rice for hiring?
If it's for CS, don't bother. The kids're mainly set on FANG and while they're somewhat skilled the ones that show up at fairs are pretty milquetoast.
If you want the smart ones who aren't risk-averse, look at who's drinking at Valhalla. Also, look for graduates of Wong's 410/415 sequence if it's still offered.
