Its not a bubble.

I'm pretty sure it is and I'm quite looking forward to seeing it burst.

When I attended Facebook university day, 100% of the students I spoke with were from top schools. The majority I spoke with were from Ivy League Universities, of the non Ivy League students, one was from MIT, two from UMD, one from UCLA, and one from UT Austin. This is not a bubble, this is them hiring the best. I have been in class with students who chose to enter software engineering at major companies rather than investment banking.

Although that notion of "the best" has been deeply challenged by slack, e.g. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/04/how-s...

I could never get an interview at Slack, but they are not hiring the best. Their compensation is far too low.

Schadenfreude aside, why?

Edit: that sounded confrontational, it wasn't supposed to be - I'm just curious!
