Speaking of finding developers…
October 31st, 2007 by Benjamin KuoI was talking to Duke Bristow, who teaches entrepreneurship and engineering courses at both USC and UCLA (yes, apparently you can work for both schools at the same time), about companies who had told me they are having difficulty finding developers. He tells me he has lots of graduating engineerings students–both undergrad and graduate–who are looking for positions. Contact me if you’d like to connect with Duke. I find that too many companies here overlook the huge wealth of engineering graduates from schools here.
In fact companies like Intel, IBM, Google, HP, Yahoo, etc. recruit heavily out of the schools here for their employees, pulling a great deal of engineering talent out of Southern California up into Silicon Valley and elsewhere. Having graduated from USC with a Electrical Engineering degree myself, I think the vast majority of people I went to school with in engineering are now working for companies up north.
