Undergrad GPA lower than yours. Also wildly successful.
There is a strong correlation between academic rigor and success, but there will always be outliers like us.
Natural talent, social skills, blind luck, network, etc. are all important factors in determining success.
No reason to feel guilty, but also realize people could read this post as a humble-brag.
“I worked a lot less hard than you, but I’m more successful” is not a statement a lot of people will take well.
- d33lio 6y agoThanks for your comment, I feel like I should've edited the post to include that I don't mean in anyway to brag. College in a lot of ways was a very painful and turbulent time for me. Granted, I'm still horrible at FAANG style coding interviews and had a period of 4-months being out of work after leaving Amazon. Not looking for pity, just adding context :)
