From what I've seen, the theory of degree signaling might actually be breaking down because employers are starting to use more assessment tools to evaluate potential employees.
- C1sc0cat 8y agoAre they? not seen much sign of that though. I am pretty sure (90%) I got dropped from consideration by a FANG company because I don't have a degree.
- csthrowaway82b 8y agoI disagree. I've been in and out of FANG companies as a Software Engineer and in my experience the education factor has largely been an HR thing. It has literally never come up in interviews. I think your performance on technical interviews combined with behavioral factors are the sole determinant. I've had one non-FANG company turn me down (as I was leaving a FANG), because I didn't have a degree. They were pretty upfront with that though.
