On CampusJob: I&#x27;ve always found the idea of product placement and marketing on college campuses to be antithetical to a &quot;classic&quot; college environment that promotes freedom of thought&#x2F;speech and the exploration of ideas outside of the mundanities of corporate life. So I cringe when I read about companies that are putting Red Bull t-shirts on students and having them convince frats to buy red bull for mixers that they&#x27;ll use for ragers. There was one company that was providing free branded bikes [1] to campuses which is useful for broke college students, but campus marketing is still just weird and distasteful in my mind. Maybe it&#x27;s just me.<p>On leaving Google &amp; McKinsey: &quot;Google and McKinsey, we could always go back to them if we needed to. But Campus Job now is an even better place to work. So we&#x27;re happy.&quot;<p>Better hope this quote doesn&#x27;t show up in a re-hiring interview :)<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.freebikeproject.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.freebikeproject.com&#x2F;</a>
