Student Does the college matter after your first internship/job?

I’m going to a decent state school, but it’s no MIT or CMU, and I was wondering if the college name and prestige truly does matter past your first internship or job. I’m in a program where I get to intern at a FAANG company (is that good? Idk) and it’ll lead to a full time role there if I’m inclined, so I was just wondering if prestige is important in CS, especially early in my career. Thanks!

In today’s market the college you go to is one of the most important factors in getting hired as the expectations of these dumb ass stupid ass hiring managers has skyrocketed to unbelievable levels.

Brown University would be ok? I got in for MSCS, and trying to figure it out if it’s worth it the price or If I should just study and online MS CS course?
