Recruiting Trip Down in San Diego part 2
A method that I am using in order to locate top candidate for interviews at Microsoft is by contacting an ex professor of mine, Dr. Ramamohan Paturi. He taught CSE 202, the graduate level algorithm class. In terms of interviewing at Microsoft, it is probably the most useful class taught at UC San Diego. Data Structure, Operating System, and System Architecture come in close behind. Dr. Paturi seems willing to provide me a list of students who might be interested in interviewing at Microsoft. I cannot guarantee them a job, but I can guarantee them an interview, which is fairly precious in this economy.
What this means is that doing well in your classes definitely impacts your career, especially for those who are taking Dr. Paturi’s class this quarter. He already assured me that he has some people in mind.
