Very easy. Getting one is the same with girls, you have to ask a lot different ones, many will deny you… but you only need ONE yes. All major Sillicon Valley companies definitely recruit from UCSD, in fact the company I will be working for is based in redwood city. There are a bunch of companies near by. Lots of times you don’t even need one from a tech, but rather a random company that needs a techie. I had to apply to 30 different ones, but eventually found a sweet gig on campus. We have a campus job posting site that is very easy to scroll through, especially since most the jobs are for CS.
I think you mean transfer majors. Check the website to figure out which ones are impacted. I heard math-cs isn’t, and its a pretty good major. That being said, it probably will be soon, so switch ASAP. Most if not all companies won’t discriminate against you because of it too. At the very worst, you just have to pretend that it is what you wanted the whole time . In fact its even preferred for certain positions for running analytics on databases.
