It only matters for your first job because it's your only credential. If you keep it above a 3.0 you should be fine. If you're below that then just make a couple portfolio projects to impress interviewers.

I could flip this on you to make an equally invalid assessment of people: I don’t hire people who have a lot of GitHub projects because it means they have no social life. That doesn’t seem very fair, does it?
