Really? This has not been my experience at all. Nearly all tech job listings I've seen mention "or equivalent experience" somewhere.
- daliwali 12y agoPassing basic HR filters is necessary for most job listings, and "equivalent experience" is harder to quantify than having a degree in the field from a name brand university. Also it is hardly a selling point to claim that one took an online class and did not receive credit for it.
- pastProlog 12y ago> This has not been my experience at all How far back is this experience? Is this what the job listings (of what there were) said during the 2008-2009 recession? Is this what they said in 2001 after the dot-com crash? They may not say them now, they may not have said them in 1999, but they certainly are requirements companies can (and do) put up during the years when people need a job most.
