We wrote a chapter of the Stanford Tech History Project (@TechHistProject)'s Final Report, providing a highly detailed overview of tech recruiting on Stanford's campus (pages 17-57)
This included recommendations to improve tech recruiting for PIT careers:

🗞 This week's #civictech must-read features #CDF20 alum @alyssaromanos and #CDF19 alum @nrmarda for his work leading @TechHistProject!

It’s great to see some our findings cited in this piece!
Silicon Valley’s allure remains powerful for many students, but there are also students whose appreciation for the technology industry is tempered by concerns over ethics and corporate cultures in the Valley.

This is a fun surprise... I made the front page of Hacker News!

Undergraduate students surveyed for this @TechHistProject report ranked @Wikipedia second place in positive societal impact among technologies and tech organizations. techhistory.stanford.edu/rep…
Read more about this data on pages 41 to 53 of our final report:

A number of caveats apply to this analysis:
- Correlation != causation
- This survey may not capture all of the important factors in choosing a first job
- Opinions of Stanford undergrads may not generalize to other entry-level talent pools
Of undergrads intending to pursue careers in tech industries, about 10% plan to go into the public sector. There seems to be a large opportunity for public sector tech orgs to capture more early-career talent
Knowing what the other 90% prioritizes could be helpful in that effort
Students who intend to pursue tech jobs in the private sector ranked skill development and career growth as the two most important factors in their first job
Students who intend to pursue tech jobs in the public sector ranked their project's mission higher than other attributes
This data comes from a survey of 923 randomly selected Stanford undergraduates
Students were asked which industry they intended to pursue their first job in
They were also asked to rank 9 different factors in terms of how important they were to have in their first job
Public sector tech organizations might attract more early-career talent by prioritizing opportunities for skill development and career growth, according to data from our survey of 900+ Stanford undergraduates

Skepticism also seems to be concentrated more in certain communities
For example, students who were on full financial aid had more negative opinions for every org on this list. Same with students who didn't identify as being "in tech":

The project surveyed more than 900 Stanford undergrads & found that Palantir's rep is tanked—it has the worst ratio of positive to negative views of any company. Almost no students felt positively about Palantir.

Hey hey! So proud to see @Wikipedia ranked as one of the technology projects having the most positive impact on society. After all, that’s exactly what it is here to do.

So excited to see this finally published! @nrmarda and I got the chance to work with incredible people to put together this study of tech at Stanford. Our team analyzed tons of data & documents (including a survey of 900 undergrads) to outline trends and make recommendations.
Our final report has been released! Read about how Stanford's tech ecosystem has changed over the past decade 👇

Feel so fortunate to have been part of this incredible team!
The Stanford Tech History Project released its final report on Monday about how tech at Stanford has changed over the past decade
I had the honor of co-directing this large & incredible team over the past 9 months with @juliaingram_
Here's a thread with some of my thoughts

Enjoyed reading the report of @Stanford's tech history in last decade & about the transformation of what was the career dev center into BEAM during my time 2013 to 2018. Proud of the impact. Thx @TechHistProject for a great & accurate portrayal of history. techhistory.stanford.edu/rep…
