After visiting the University of Toronto, the University of Alberta, New York State University and talking to many students in computer sciences and students specializing in marketing.
I asked them all was, “where do you want to work after graduation”?, an overwhelming number of them answered either Facebook or Google. I was surprised no one said Microsoft.
