> I’ve never looked at someone’s degree, only the recent projects they’ve worked on. So you can't say whether its actually a valuable signal?

  He can say that. It's not a valuable signal for a student if recruiters aren't looking for it.

    If he picks his candidates based on prior projects, how does he know that all those candidates he picks aren't because they have comp sci degrees? Getting a degree isn't getting your visa stamped, it means you should be able to do some things better now that you've been trained.

  More like: "I make my living in part by doing this. I don't personally find it valuable."
  • peteradio 4y ago
    If he doesn't look he can't possibly ascertain how much he values it.

      Correct, I don't know if a CS degree gave them connections or prior jobs with access to interesting projects or not.
