If you have talent, and work hard to cultivate it, then you can take advantage of the opportunities that are around you. Doesn't matter if you're at GA Tech or MIT, there are always more good opportunities than good people.

I definitely agree; it's just a matter of finding the right people.

Anecdote: attending some of the tech talks that companies give at Tech, there is always a gradient of people, from the people that are there for free food to the people that are there to ask questions and get something out of it. These tech talks are thinly veiled recruiting events, and the latter set of people are always approached afterwards for interviews or networking purposes.
