rstofer, the user in question hasn't been active in 2-1/2 years and the post is eight years old... I suspect he won't be able to hear you...  ;)

To the main topic at hand... EE at UnB (Universidade de Brasília) and incomplete EE MSc at Unicamp (Universidade de Campinas)

My bad...  I NEVER look at the dates and, clearly, I should.

The forum should also refuse to reactivate zombie threads.  Anything over about 30 days should be left behind.  Alas, that probably won't happen.  And I'll continue to overlook the dates and I'll be right back in this situation.

A new user's very 1st post is to reactivate a 7 year old thread...

To the OP: So, why don't you start it off by saying where you are from (no flag) and where you went to college?

ferdieCX:
Universidad del Trabajo del Uruguay - Engineer
Warsaw University of Technology - MSc

This opinion is truly delusional. Please try getting a job at Google or Microsoft and report back to us on how that works out for you. Those companies and their ilk take on only a small fraction of the people looking for employment. Furthermore the likes of Google and Microsoft select for exceptionally smart people with good interview skills. A software engineering qualification is somewhat secondary when it comes to getting through their interview processes. (But being brilliant helps enormously.)

I haven't worked at Google or Microsoft, but I've worked for Mozilla and Samsung R&D and had an offer from Google (but I picked Samsung). I left Samsung earlier this year to join a chip designing startup.

Education: I was having a hard time deciding whether to do EE or computer science. In the end the decision was made because I didn't like Auckland or Auckland University[1] and so I decided on Computer Science with a good bit of maths and physics (including electronics) at University of Waikato in Hamilton, 1981-1984.

[1] programming assignments were done by submitting PUNCHED CARDS for the Burroughs 6700 and picking them up the next day .. ugh. At least Waikato had a couple of PDP-11s with lots of video terminals, and a VAX on order.
