Why do companies spend so much time money on career fairs? /u/Brick-Foreign CSCQ protests reddit

Why do companies spend so much time money on career fairs? /u/Brick-Foreign CSCQ protests reddit

I work for a financial services company in Boston as a SWE, and our early career recruiter for tech was saying she was visiting over 20 schools this fall alone, all over the east coast. She also said that she’ll most likely be hiring ~10 or so new grads for June 2025, not including those that already interned here this past summer.

My question is- why do early career teams even bother going to that many schools? If you know you’re gonna hire 10 people, and there’s guaranteed to be 100s of applicants because of the awful job market, doesn’t it make sense to only really recruit from schools within the city/state (which Boston has TONS of) to save time and money?

Recruiting definitely isn’t cheap with travel and registration costs, so that money would probably be best used elsewhere instead of visiting schools where you know you’ll hire nobody from. Am I missing something here?

Inquiry- Applying to same position but different location within a company /u/stowaway_LesMis_simp CSCQ protests reddit

Inquiry- Applying to same position but different location within a company /u/stowaway_LesMis_simp CSCQ protests reddit

Essentially the title. I’m applying to software engineering positions, and I was wondering what the general procedure is if company X has multiple openings of the same role, but just in different locations? Do I apply to both job roles?

For example, I see that Comcast has a software engineering intern role in both Philadelphia and New York on different workday pages. If I’m open to both roles, am I expected to apply to both openings?

Just seeing if I can save some time in this process. Thank’s y’all!

Guidance for a fresh Grad with an interest in both Cybersecurity and Game Development… /u/-TheManWithNoHat- CSCQ protests reddit

Guidance for a fresh Grad with an interest in both Cybersecurity and Game Development… /u/-TheManWithNoHat- CSCQ protests reddit

Hey, so the title is kinda self explanatory. I graduated in July (but it took me a while to get my damn transcript)

I’ve been interested in Game Dev since I was a kid. My final year project was even a demo for a splitscreen game like A Way Out.

But I’m also one of those people who got lured in by Cybersecurity and the dream of a high paying job, especially since the Gaming industry isn’t doing too hot.

I’ve been looking into applying for a masters degree in Computer Science or CySec, but I’m still waiting for the deadlines to start. So in the meantime I’ve been applying to a bunch of random IT positions on LinkedIn, Indeed and Glassdoor.

I just wanted to know what else I should be doing, or if there is something I should be aware since I have time. I’ve been doing Google’s Cybersecurity courses on Coursera since I never did an internship.
