Exactly. I think if you're the sort of person who can self teach yourself an entire CS degree in your spare time, that's going to look very good on your CV, accreditation or not.
The issue would be getting past the automated CV checkers or recruiters that will throw out any applicants that don't have a certain grade
- austincheney 5y agoNobody looks at grades unless you are a fresh graduate with nothing else to populate on a resume.
- ganafagol 5y agoWith less than 5 years of experience it's definitely a factor. If your straight Cs and B- and only have 3 years in some junior role, you're really not prio 1 interview material.
- austincheney 5y agoThen all my interviews (and coworkers) imply a radically different experience. Education is just one or optional lines on a resume that nobody looks at. You don't need a CS degree (or any degree at all) to be a developer.
- ChrisRR 5y agoI think it depends on your speciality . If you're something like a web dev where there's probably 100 other people applying for the same job, then it makes it easier for other CVs to be considered over yours. Something more specialist, they might give more time to consider your application
