Wall Street coders wanted, elite college degrees not necessary

At the same time people from the best school are trying to get into startup. According to a lab director quote from his conversation with one of the interns from Stanford “I wont even work in google even if you guys pay me 1 million a year”. All they need is one good idea and the company will be acquire by any enterprise. A group of five graduate from Berkeley design a special database for retrieving data in more efficient way and their supervisor report it to the director and they decide to pay 61 million to acquire it, the whole process took less than a week even the product is incomplete. So I’m not surprised that they cant hire them, and the way that they do hiring is not fit for programmers
