Not that I have any opinion about SEAS vs Michigan, Penn engineering grads can end up in Silicon Valley or the PNW. Silicon Valley recruiting probably works hardest on the west coast but it’s not that hard to find a job someplace worth working if you’re articulate and quantitative. While IB is definitely over-represented, alumni magazines are making it pretty clear that people are moving into tech at a good clip as well. If I had to choose, my salient points would be cost, location (urban vs college town) or size (medium-sized vs large). Finally, there are great tech jobs everywhere beyond Silicon Valley. I already mentioned the PNW but Denver/Boulder, Austin, NC, and Boston have numerous companies as well. SV is more relevant if you want the startup scene but it’s widely perceived that startups are in the midst of a correction as no one’s going public and acquirers are getting smarter with their money (why do an acquisition when you can out wait the VC and do a zombie acquihire for a fraction of the cost?). Finally, I’m amused that you mention Amazon as one of my classmates is a director in AWS.
