Is the status of a university important in the eyes of employers (for IT graduates)?

Question

IT education

I am planning to study software engineering.

Studying the issue, I came to the conclusion that IT (in general) is one of the few areas where the presence of specialized education is important, and employers prefer certified applicants to self-taught ones. This issue is especially acute at the beginning of a career.

In short, better with a diploma than without it. But then the question arises: where to go?
I would rather study in my city than go to, say, the capital.
But the question of the status of the "crust" arises.
Let me emphasize in advance that the question is not about knowledge, etc., but purely about the difference in attitudes towards universities in the labor market. The fact that this difference exists is clear: some MTUCI is better by default than, say, the Perm Polytechnic University. But it is not clear how big this difference is.

Here I am faced with diametrically opposed opinions on the topic.

A. A diploma can be issued by any Ust-Zaperduisk University, the main thing is that the specialty should be as "IT" as possible (or physics and mathematics as an alternative).

B. Ust-Zaperduysk is useless, and only TOP universities are listed for employment. The rest are equated, if not to the lack of specialized education, then somewhere nearby (this option is more often heard in the context of employment in outsourced "galleys").

I understand that in the case of an employer, everything depends on the requirements of a particular company and even the personal views of recruiters and others involved in hiring.

But still, how are things going "on average in the chamber" for the domestic market and for outsourcing?
How does it work not in theory,

Answer 1

I read some nonsense (just kidding, I didn’t read it).
It is not a diploma that is quoted (which must be mandatory), but experience. Get experience.

Answer 2

At employment in IT, intelligence, erudition, logic and experience are quoted.
The diploma is of interest only to personnel officers - and even so, not so much to remind about it.
upd. Option B is bullshit. Everyone who can and wants to row will be taken to the galley.

Answer 3

well, there are features here,
the ivy league is clearly valued better than everything else shit
, not Russian universities clearly outperform Russian
personal preferences, for example, I studied at NGTU and I like workers from NGTU, although there is no sense in this.
local sucks, that is, in our NSC, three universities more or less train people, the rest are completely for show, of course, I will select people from ngtu, ngu and sibguti.
In general, this applies to the first job, that is, when I take a person with no experience, and if a dude who comes, something can do without a university, I will take him right away.
95 percent of cases I hire people with some kind of experience, at least a few months, here I don’t even read resumes at all and I don’t know what university they are from, since a few months of experience have clearly outweighed the university.

Answer 4

Education in it does not play a role at all. Now, in general, education does not solve anything in commerce.
You can get a job in a good company in Moscow and get good money, but in Zadryshchinsk without education they won’t even take a system administrator to a rural library, because it’s a budget organization.
