I didn't have my bachelor's degree until very recently... three jobs and nearly 10 years into my career. When I got my degree, no one seemed to care. I didn't get a pay raise or anything.
- rifung 8y agoI don't think you'll get a pay raise for it but not having it might prevent you from getting jobs. I've definitely been asked why I didn't go to/finish my Bachelor's in many interviews. Who knows how many jobs I was skipped over because I didn't have it. Could be 0 for all I know but how would I know? That being said, after a few years of working nobody cared about it anymore.
- freehunter 8y agoLike I said, some fields care. Some don't. YMMV. Getting an interview depends on a million and a half factors, it's hard to say one is more important than the other.
- walshemj 8y agoAnd depends on culture - I have had negative reactions in the UK when being interviewed by IBM and by a French company. I also why its why I didn't get a call back from Ebay I suspect spain where the hr person was based might have some biases.

- drawnwren 8y agoIf you're a dev, my impression is that boot camps have changed this a lot. 10 years ago, someone without a bachelor's had a larger chance of fitting the 'lone hacker' stereotype than they do today. Of course, work experience trumps all.
