<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Just wondering, what types of jobs do CS-Econ majors pursue? Also, what companies hire CS majors? </p>
<p>The reason I ask is so I can convince my parents to let me go to Brown for CS. Please help me out!</p>
<p>Thanks for everything 
Specific examples would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I’m also choosing between CS, Applied Math-CS and CS-Economics and would love to hear some thoughts from current or former Brownies</p>
<p>Microsoft, Google, Pixar, software engineering companies, IT consulting companies, and investment banks (if you want to go towards the financial sector)</p>
<p>Do you know anyone specifically?</p>
<p>Lapras just summed up at least half of the CS department, if not more…</p>
<p>I think CS Econ is one of the most marketable degrees from Brown. What is your parents problem with it? What would they rather you major in?</p>
<p>I would actually say that CS-Econ is the most marketable degree at Brown.</p>
<p>google, microsoft, apple, amazon, goldman sachs, morgan stanley, jane street capital, SIG, two sigma</p>
<p>
Truth. If you are able to hack it, you will be extremely well prepared for a wide range of lucrative and stimulating careers in technology, finance, or statistical research.</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs? The Great Vampire Squid actually seeks out Brown’s graduating hippie-communists? ;)</p>

<p>Sigh. That is such a myth. Maybe back in the 1970s. Heck, Bobby Jindal went to Brown. Plenty of Brown students end up on Wall Street.</p>
