We did only hire from about 20 schools in the US. The unfortunate thing is that the masters programs did not filter nearly as exclusively as the undergrad programs.

Ok, so you were "shredding resumes" of students of all but 20 schools in US, IITs and Tsinghua. That's an extremely high hiring bar.

I don't think this experience can be used to draw general conclusions on the quality of education across Masters programs in US.

Yeah, I know many people who wouldn't have passed that bar making bank working at FAANGS.
