UIUC (20k/year) vs. USC (35k/year) -- FinTech

What you might want to do in business may change over time. The difference ($15k per year) is not insignificant but not so significant and I do think there are some recruiters that may target USC that would be harder to break through at UIUC. For instance i-banking and consulting firms likely have USC on their target lists but may not for UIUC. It depends on what you want to do ultimately and for things like engineering or cs, I’d say it matters less. But for business, I would look at recruiters and companies hiring and go where they go (given the choice).
