Maybe for your first job or two, but there are plenty of self-taught FAANG developers with completely unrelated degrees from completely unknown colleges.
I'm really curious what the "or something" in your race statement means though.
- oefrha 3y agoFirst job or two do affect your entire career, not to mention the lasting effects of networking. “There are plenty of counter examples” doesn’t mean people don’t give a shit in general, it means it’s not the only factor at play. As for “or something”, it is well known that the bar is very high for Asians and extracurriculars are needed to distinguish oneself (too many perfect SATs and GPAs), but maybe there are other demographics similarly affected that I don’t hear about much.
