I have a bachelors in CS from a regular state 4-year college, and never had a problem getting hired. There's not enough good developers.
Obviously, there are better CS programs out there. If you can get into MIT, that will be the best experience of your life.
- ohaideredevs 7y agoI have a degree in something entirely unrelated. Always wondering if I should bother getting a Masters in CS if I plan to stay in the field long term. Seems to only be worth it if I get into a top 5 school, and even then, it seems like a year of study might be worth more than a degree.
- sorenn111 7y agoI disagree. Degrees matter in terms of credential signalling. I wish the world were a different way, but degrees are a signal that employers do NOT ignore no matter what the HN crowd says about autodidactic CS learning (even though I agree with them on that). Georgia Tech has a great online Master's program which many of my peers took which I think is more readily accessible.
- aplummer 7y agoOn the anecdote train I studied fine arts and work as a dev in a FAANG. 5 years practical experience and a few months optimizing for leetcode. Nobody seemed to care about my degree and getting final rounds was easy enough.
- inpooling 7y agoGood fore you. Agree that practice is the key to success in programming!
