That's what I'm also curious about. I never finished my degree and understand I have to leverage work experience and a killer portfolio to get my next development job, but have yet to figure out how to structure my resume around this niggling detail.
Leaving off the education section is interesting... I'm assuming this strategy is to give you an opportunity to create interest as a candidate before the (inevitable?) question comes up, "I see you didn't mention education on your resume... Could you tell me more about that?"
Edit: Grammatical fumbling.
- pm90 12y agoWell, to be honest, I have had a masters degree and absolutely nobody has asked me about it EXCEPT for Google. I'm sure there are other places that focus a lot of Algorithmic stuff that would prefer if you had some academic backing, but by and large I don't think it matters at all. Especially in this job market. The only place where an educational degree will help in development jobs is probably getting work visas.
