- 0des 5y agoShow me how many GED students who had to fight certificate bias with get hired out of sheer skill.
- legerdemain 5y agoAt Stripe? None, to the best of my knowledge. It is what it is, sorry.
- 0des 5y agoYou don't have to be sorry, I'm lucky to be comfy with my current workplace. To me though, this is the dividing line in places that care about abilities, and places that are focused on 'checking boxes'.
- dehrmann 5y agoThis might just be a numbers thing because their program isn't as large. It has a top-10 engineering program for schools that don't offer doctorates, so I'd be surprised if it's CS program isn't at least solid.
- capeterson 5y agoThis person seems to be stating that grads of these schools are of good quality, not that they are necessarily successful in the workforce. In my opinion, the biggest upside of CSU's is that they provide a vastly more diverse student body. There's a greater range of financial situations, age groups, and ethnicities. I feel this experience working with folks from a variety of backgrounds is an essential part of a strong candidate. I'm personally not really on one side or another. "Alternative" paths (e.g. CSU's, community college, no school) seem to create candidates that have had a diverse life experience. Top UC's/private schools create candidates that are regarded as more academic. That's just my take on it, and I feel that people being on one side or the other is mostly due to which of these stereotypes that person prefers.
