I think the evidence from a lot of people here is that: - Mostly it does not matter. List when you graduated, provide evidence of what you have worked on and done well at, and be transparent if people care enough to ask - It matters more in highly competitive or zero-sum situations in which they are comparing two otherwise well qualified people, and less if they need to hire someone. - It matters more in other, more competitive fields than it does in CS because CS work is more accreditive (and less role driven than law, for example)
