Just curious, does college tier affect the pay you get for the same role (say SDE1) in big tech like Amazon, Microsoft, etc. ?
Being from a tier1/popular college gets you more negotiation power for sure. It's also slightly harder to get your resume to stand out unless you've previously worked at good orgs that shortlisters may know of.

For senior roles, there’s increasing more focus on the skill set instead.
