Fwiw I don’t have a degree and have worked remotely for several years (predating Covid) including for Bay Area startups. Don’t let that weigh on you, you have 26 years of experience - that’s long enough that no one cares anymore. I have 9 years experience and it doesn’t bother me anymore either, I just don’t have an education section on my CV anymore and it’s not been held against me.
- ghosty141 4y agoIm from Germany and Im working alongside people with a masters degree in CS while I only have an apprenticeship with a bad „high school diploma“. All that based on one year of work experienced and being very eager to learn things. 26 years of work experience are worth way more than most degrees, I wouldnt worry one bit. Especially with a good resume which I guess OP has, since he hasnt been unemployed for 26 years!
- ryanmercer 4y ago>26 years of work experience are worth way more than most degrees, Not when 10 of it is fast food/retail/digging graves for a living and another 15 and a half of it is filling out hyper-specific paperwork all day that doesn't translate to any other industry or role.
