I think it all comes down to the required skills. If you don't have a degree, you have to convince the company in other way that you have what they need. Especially in software development it's pretty easy to show your skills.
- saagarjha 8y agoDegrees do often make companies more inclined to let you show them your skills, though.
- philipov 8y agoI've noticed a correlation between companies that are overly interested in credentials and those that will institute open plan offices, draconian intellectual property regimes, and other employee-hostile measures. No loss there!
- C1sc0cat 8y agoHow so? and you have to get past the gate keepers first. I am sure I got dropped from a FANG job I applied for as the initial screening was done by an entry level hr person in a European country which is even more strict about having a degree and less liberal in dealing with atypical candidates.
