The hard truth. It seems like nothing other than the college you went to matters in this industry. Atleast everyone should know about this situation so that people with passion and skill opting for engg from low tier college because they couldn't get into top ones won't waste their life

You are right its the most practical way. But companies these days are acting like it's the only indicator

Hope you won't take it wrong sense but don't think not getting opportunity and being stereotyped because not part of cream layer is that much of a blessing :) By the way the all the requirement of tier1 degree were found in startup job ads not just in big tech company jobs. Regarding the resource availability you are right but the problem is not about becoming skilled instead no one is ready to accept your skills if you don't have a tier1 college degree
