Which schools are best at launching graduates into desirable jobs? We analyzed millions of alumni profiles to find out how schools around the world stack up across a variety of careers.

1. 
   
    First, we identified the top companies where software developers are choosing to work.
   
   


2. 
   
    Next, we found people on LinkedIn who work as software developers and saw where they went to school.
   
   


3. 
   
   Finally, for each school, we found the percentage of these alumni who’ve landed software development jobs at these top companies, then compared the percentages to come up with the list.
