How easy is it to get a CS job after graduating?

Yeah, but those government related jobs are like 10% from my experience, and I have no problem in avoiding those. Regarding CPT/OPT, I don’t see any issues, and even OPT can be extended for another 17 months through STEM. This gives you a total of about 29 months of permitted work time after graduation, in which to find an employer who can sponsor you for work. Surely that’s enough time ?

My social circle isn’t very big when I try to see who I know managed to work in the US, but I’ve haven’t heard of any case when someone couldn’t settle in the US simply because they couldn’t find someone who won’t sponsor them for work.

But this is kinda getting off-topic a little. The discussion was how much Brown can help me get employment following graduation, and this depends on how well ties the university has with the IT industry. Anyone care to comment on this ?
