Serious question, seems like the general sentiment certs are a negative signal (which I don’t agree with but everyone to their own) but where do degrees sit? If certs are a waste of time and people should spend their time “working on something real instead”, wouldn’t this also apply to degrees?
- cyberpunk 4y agoI don’t even bother reading the degree or not part when I am hiring. It’s pretty irrelevant. I doesn’t hurt, but none of my top 5-10 hires over the last decade or so have had one. Anecdotal of course.

However, Software Engineering and Computer Science are quite different than each other. It is normal that experience overweights a CS education for Software Engineering field.
