Makes sense, most companies only care about university grades for first jobs (because there's very little else to distinguish candidates at the stage).

- TheAceOfHearts 13y agoI think it's a lot more useful to show em your GitHub than it is to show them GPA. That's how I got my first internship :D.
- pavanred 13y agoI quit my job after 5 years as a programmer for my Masters. I must say, just working on one small class project with any candidate can help you find a world of a difference. I think its the experience and my personal interest that drives me towards worrying more about actually learning stuff instead of scoring grades. Getting a grade is more about identifying what a Professor expects and giving it to them. There are many students who slack off their effort in team projects. And, the worst part, the slackers spend a lot of time applying and preparing specifically for interviews, so as I see the ones who get the "best" jobs are generally the ones that I would never hire them if I was looking for candidates for my company.
