  Hi! Just in few words. What's your interview process like?

Little tidbit: Degree in CS is totally useless nowadays, surely you know this already? I work for a tech/telco company in London and all the seniors agree that CS degrees now are totally useless and don't make you any better at CS. Consider the portfolio rather than the credentials, and require a STEM degree in general, always.

  Well if all the seniors at your text/telco company agree with that it must be true!

    They are the people hiring us all, so, uh, kind of?

  My experience as a holder of a degree in STEM (not CS) is that if you have experience even people who say "degree in CS" don't actually care. I display my degree prominently on my resume but no one ever brings up the fact that it isn't CS (except rarely when it might be relevant to the subject matter of the company, then it's a bonus.) I wouldn't worry so much about the language on the req.

    Since it's seniors who hire, i'de say it's pretty important whether they value it or not. And a lot don't, especially for networking since CS has almost no networking in it (by the 2nd year most undergrads still have difficulty working with binary, i.e. netmasks, cidr's, wildcards, etc.).
