<p>Sorry for the delay, about jobs, I will know more in 6 months as I start the job process this year assuming I graduate this Spring. But I have been to maybe 5 career fairs since I’ve been here and a few CS related ones. Generally there are a lot of Northern Virginia companies/government agencies/contractors that are popular here Ex: Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman and many others. </p>
<p>The two major career fairs (Engineering Expo in the fall, career fair in the Spring) big tech companies like Cisco, Google, Microsoft and some 200 other employers come by and recruit. It’s very competitive though and there’s always a long line to speak to them. </p>
<p>There are also a lot of random recruiters that come by throughout the year as well and you will get e-mails about interview opportunities. If you put your resume in “Hokies4hire” you may get called to an interview at anytime throughout the year too.</p>
<p>However you could surf around the site for specific statistics Ex:
[Virginia</a> Tech Post Graduation Report: Full Report](<a href=“http://www.career.vt.edu/PostGraduationReport/PostGraduationReportByMCU.asp?College=05&Major=CS&Cohort=2008-2009&SortBy=]Virginia”>http://www.career.vt.edu/PostGraduationReport/PostGraduationReportByMCU.asp?College=05&Major=CS&Cohort=2008-2009&SortBy=)</p>
<p>[Starting</a> Salaries | Business Information Technology | Pamplin College of Business | Virginia Tech](<a href=“http://www.bit.vt.edu/startingsalaries.html]Starting”>http://www.bit.vt.edu/startingsalaries.html)</p>
<p>Computer Science has the 6th highest starting salary at Virginia Tech, and close to 90% of grads either had a job lined up or went to grad school. </p>
<p>You can apply online for New York jobs, as long as your good at what you do you should be competitive anywhere with a CS degree.</p>
<p>That’s my hope at least. I’ll know more this time next year.</p>
