Not true. Any number of positions that I am looking for management (i.e. the candidate has 5+ years of sw dev experience) specify a BS as a requirement. I read this as the filtering software filters out non-degreed professionals.
- loopbit 11y agoAs someone that is 37 and hasn't got a degree, I can tell you that most of those requirements are bullshit. Send the CV, get an interview and prove the interviewers that you are capable of taking the responsibility. And yes, I've been in managerial positions, from team lead all the way up to director of engineering for several multinationals. Most of the positions listed a BS (or even MSc) as requirement.
- gvb 11y agoIts the "flunky HR functionaries" that apply those filters. As recommended by many others, network and bypass them.
