Your point still stands, and I definitely agree with you. A degree is generally a good investment that should only be skipped with caution, sufficient drive and personal affinity for programming. I just wanted to go off on a tangent because I don't think it's common knowledge that the large finance companies will hire uncredentialed devs.

> I just wanted to go off on a tangent because I don't think it's common knowledge that the large finance companies will hire uncredentialed devs. Fair point. I've actually never seen any evidence that they do (not that I've looked closely) and am surprised. Do you have to have prior industry experience in a particular niche to get in without a credential? (Ex. low latency expertise.)
