Unless he ticks two or (ideally) more of the following:

- graduated summa cum laude

- from a top university (MIT, Stanford, CMU, Cornell, Berkeley)

- lives and breathes tech, writes code for fun in his personal time, iron-clad determination to succeed

- has strong personal projects that show off his top-notch technical skills

he should seriously consider doing something else. The tech field is pretty much over for new grads and it's going to get harder and harder.
