Top Feeder Schools To Silicon Valley

Top Feeder Schools To Silicon Valley by: Nathan Allen on April 27, 2017 | 2 Comments Comments 22,648 Views April 27, 2017When it comes to landing a job at one of Silicon Valleys coveted tech giants, geography matters just as much — or more than — prestige, according to a new report.Some robust research released earlier this week from HiringSolved, an artificial intelligence and machine learning tech company, shows that Silicon Valleys top 25 companies have recently hired more students from the University of California-Berkeley than any other school. The second-most-represented school was Stanford, perched in the heart of the tech-centric valley.HiringSolved used its own proprietary artificial intelligence to aggregate data from more than 10,000 public social media profiles of individuals hired or promoted at the 25 firms in 2016 and the first two months of 2017. It found that Pittsburghs Carnegie Mellon University was the third-largest pipeline to Silicon Valley, w ith the University of Southern California following in fourth and the University of Texas-Austin rounding out the top five. Interestingly, no Ivy League schools made the top 10, and only three of the top 10  schools were private institutions.  Five of the top 10  schools were based in California.The chart below includes all hires made, not just recent graduates.  According to a spokesperson from HiringSolved, the company pulled a list of the largest tech firms from Wikipedia, then sorted the list by revenues. The list likely includes companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Tesla, Netflix, Adobe, Yahoo!, among others.if(undefined==typeof window.datawrapper)window.datawrapper={};window.datawrapper[9QuM7]={},window.datawrapper[9QuM7].embedDeltas={100:946,200:712,300:661,400:617,500:600,600:600,700:583,800:583,900:583,1000:583},window.datawrapper[9QuM7].iframe=document.getElementById(datawrapper-chart-9QuM7),window.datawrapper[9QuM7].iframe.style.height=window.datawrapper[9QuM7] .embedDeltas[Math.min(1e3,Math.max(100*Math.floor(window.datawrapper[9QuM7].iframe.offsetWidth/100),100))]+px,window.addEventListener(message,function(a){if(undefined!=typeof a.data[datawrapper-height])for(var b in a.data[datawrapper-height])if(9QuM7==b)window.datawrapper[9QuM7].iframe.style.height=a.data[datawrapper-height][b]+px});BIG ROLES PLAYED BY GEOGRAPHY, VOLUME OF GRADSMost of the schools in  the top 25 make sense. They are primarily large universities that simply pump out a ton of graduates — like Arizona State University or Texas AM University, which both have more than 50,000 undergraduate students — or smaller schools with top-notch engineering and computer science programs, like Carnegie Mellon and Cornell. Schools like San Jose State University and Santa Clara University prove geography also plays a role.But there are some anomalies. For instance, Canadas University of Waterloo places 16th — ahead of MIT. Controversial for-profit institution the University of Phoenix also shows up in the top 25.UC-Berkeley is poised to stay on top, as the school seems to perpetually take advantage of its prestige and geographical advantage. This August, the school will launch its dual engineering and business degree — the first of its kind at a large, elite school.TOP DESIRED SKILLS ARE ALL ABOUT APP DEVELOPMENTThe HiringSolved study also aggregated the top skills and top roles listed by recent hires and promotions at the 25 Silicon Valley firms. Python, a coding language for back-end app development, was the most-listed skill by individuals recently hired. Top e-commerce and business app development language Java was the second-highest listed skill. Being able to build cloud-based apps rounded out the top three most-desired skills in Silicon Valley.if(undefined==typeof window.datawrapper)window.datawrapper={};window.datawrapper[BSiZq]={},window.datawrapper[BSiZq].embedDeltas={100:699,200:577,300:560,400:516,500:516,600:516,700:499, 800:499,900:499,1000:499},window.datawrapper[BSiZq].iframe=document.getElementById(datawrapper-chart-BSiZq),window.datawrapper[BSiZq].iframe.style.height=window.datawrapper[BSiZq].embedDeltas[Math.min(1e3,Math.max(100*Math.floor(window.datawrapper[BSiZq].iframe.offsetWidth/100),100))]+px,window.addEventListener(message,function(a){if(undefined!=typeof a.data[datawrapper-height])for(var b in a.data[datawrapper-height])if(BSiZq==b)window.datawrapper[BSiZq].iframe.style.height=a.data[datawrapper-height][b]+px});Business majors, dont totally fret. HiringSolved also broke down the top roles most recently hired at the tech companies, and while the top three positions listed have software engineer in the title, many business-oriented roles dot the list. Project manager is the fourth-most listed newly hired position, and business development consultant is also in the top ten. Product managers and business analysts also finish in the top 10,  and financial analyst just misses as the 12th-m ost hired position.When looking at just new graduates hired, the numbers get even better for business majors. Business development consultants are the third-most hired position for new grads, behind only software engineering interns and software engineers. Product specialist, business analyst, brand ambassador, marketing intern, and financial analyst all make the top 10, suggesting recently graduated business majors might have better luck going directly into tech after college than trying to transition into tech after early careers in other industries.if(undefined==typeof window.datawrapper)window.datawrapper={};window.datawrapper[PT8YZ]={},window.datawrapper[PT8YZ].embedDeltas={100:878,200:695,300:661,400:617,500:600,600:600,700:600,800:600,900:600,1000:583},window.datawrapper[PT8YZ].iframe=document.getElementById(datawrapper-chart-PT8YZ),window.datawrapper[PT8YZ].iframe.style.height=window.datawrapper[PT8YZ].embedDeltas[Math.min(1e3,Math.max(100*Math.floor(window.datawrapper[PT8YZ ].iframe.offsetWidth/100),100))]+px,window.addEventListener(message,function(a){if(undefined!=typeof a.data[datawrapper-height])for(var b in a.data[datawrapper-height])if(PT8YZ==b)window.datawrapper[PT8YZ].iframe.style.height=a.data[datawrapper-height][b]+px});DONT MISS: UC-BERKELEY LAUNCHES NAVY SEAL PROGRAM FOR FUTURE TECH LEADERS  or TOP FEEDER SCHOOLS TO GOOGLE, GOLDMAN SACHS, AND MORE Page 1 of 11

Communications & Media: Kya Kehn, by Kundan Shah , 2001 (Movie Review Sample) Content: NameProfessorClassDateKya Kehn, by Kundan Shah , 2001Kya Kehn is Bollywood film released in 2000 and directed by Kundan Shah. The leading actor in the movie is Preity Zinta, and she plays a single teenage mother. The film tackles the taboo issue of pre-marital teenage pregnancy and how the Indian society views it. The movie was one of the highest grossing productions and catapulted Zinta to her stardom within the Hindi film industry.The film revolves around Priya Bakshi (Played by Preity Zinta), a courageous, determined and independent girl from a middle-class Indian family who lived in a town located in the Himalayan foothills. After her graduation from an exclusive all-girls boarding school, she goes back home to attend college and falls in love with Rahul, a local boy from her hometown. Her family learns of their relationship and launches a strong objection of their romance. Their opposition is informed by the knowledge of Rahul's well known womanizing ways. Unw ittingly, Priya starts a passionate affair with the Lothario and predictably becomes pregnant. An makes her family reject her and ultimately eject her from her home for bringing disgrace to the household. Priya is perplexed by the turn of events after it became apparent that it's the entire community and not just her family that had banished her. After giving it enough thought and consulting with some local peers, she decides to run away by boarding a train at the local train station.However, as luck would have it, her family learns of her plan and decides to intercept her before she boards the train. They approach her with a reconciliatory message after realizing that her absence would be too terrible to bear. Later on, Priya and her family attend a school play with an eerily similar plot as her predicament. In the play, the expectant teenage protagonist commits suicide with the view of "restoring" her family's lost honor. The public shaming which was devised by her mother devastat es her, and she is determined to speak up against it. She campaigned against shaming of teenage mothers, and her speech yielded a standing ovation. She later goes back to school to a much more welcoming crowd. They shower her with gifts and praises. In the long run, her strong-willed character, determination, and outspokenness are just but some of her desirable qualities that made the community to adore her.The main themes that emerged in the movieThe most dominant theme in the film is women empowerment (Childers 1). Throughout the beginning of the film, it is made clear that the Indian society is largely dominated by traditional stereotypes in which women have no say and their behavior and bodies are policed within a massively patriarchal social and political system. The movie has a lot of educative power and is best described as possessing elements of didacticism (Shreya 16). The movie ignited a nationwide discourse on the issues of teenage pregnancy and ultimately brought about a change in the Indian society.A changing perception of gender and sexuality narrative in Indian filmsIndian is a patriarchal society and forms quite a long time; the visual narrative was dominated by male heroes. Very few Indian movies exist in which a woman plays the dominant role or lead character. Instead, they are portrayed as supporting characters to a male lead. Instead, they are portrayed as vulnerable creatures, and their identity is often placed second after male identities. Kya Kehn defined this narrative and indicated a changing narrative of the Indians film industry regarding gender balance and representation (Iqbal 96). The movie portrays a female character thats proud of her sexuality and independence. Priya defies the expectation of the male-dominated society and comes out as an independent character not afraid of explicitly expressing her desires and sexuality.ConclusionKya Kehn is no doubt one of the best woman-centric films produced by the Boll...
