其实关注placements的时候,最好关注下chinese placements. 比如UBC毕业生有去UCLA CMU Austin的,但what about Chinese? you don't want to know. 每个学校都有就业的瓶颈,也就是upper bound. 而且即使去了牛校教书也要看之后能不能拿到tenure,能不能做的更好。 还是好好研究下placement,以及各个学校的connection, 会有很多surprise的。 当然有些老牌牛校,即使placement is a mess,但毕竟校友众多,声势犹在。 anyway, UBC and UT are enough for most of the recruiters.
