Who should go

Northwestern CS, CE and data students targeting Expedia's new-grad and intern software roles.

Sai's take

Company info sessions are where recruiters remember faces, so show up and ask one specific question about their engineering org. Expedia Group files H-1B petitions at scale, which makes it a realistic target if you need sponsorship. Then hit their table at the Tech Career Fair the next day and reference the session. Two touches in 24 hours beats one.

Show up prepared

  1. 1RSVP through Handshake and update your resume there first
  2. 2Read Expedia's careers page for open new-grad SDE postings
  3. 3Prepare one question about their tech stack or team structure

Sponsorship reality

Known H-1B sponsor. This employer has a public H-1B filing history in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Ask about sponsorship for the specific role, not the company in general.

Showing up is half of it.

The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
