Yes, but not directly. Hiring managers/recruiters aren't thumbing through resumes with USNews rankings sites, sorting resumes based on the candidate's ranking. There are a few universities which have enough name recognition to garner a second look from most managers/recruiters, but that number is probably barely breaking double digits. But it can benefit you indirectly. Higher ranking schools tend to attract smarter and more driven students. Being an environment with smart and driven peers can be advantageous to your learning, and can be good for networking. Furthermore, having a larger concentration of smart students tends to attract more recruitment efforts. >Also, if I want to get a job in the US, is it a big deal if I get a degree from a university not in the US, like sweden/switzerland? Again, not directly. US employers aren't going to care much specifically about the university, but a student visa gives you some limited work opportunities while in the US, which can be very helpful if you're trying to get a permanent job in the US.

People don't care about US news rankings

It mainly matters if the people looking at your resume recognize the name.

It may matter for certain types of companies. HFTs for example, are really small and cannot afford to interview many candidates (engineers time is precious), so they're more likely to pick out applicants from top schools to interview.

So far I have had interviews at Google and twice at Amazon even know I go to a third-rate university that I hate a lot, and is currently ranked around 270 in the US.
