I was in the same boat as you, just a couple years older, and decided to attend university to get my bachelors in CS. Mind you I was working in the field already and making good money. I discovered that not having the degree meant I had kno

You have a gift, value this gift by continuing your education. Get a degree and many more doors will open for you. Don’t treat your life or your career like it’s a race. It’s a marathon, and most of it is still ahead of you.

I decided to pursue a masters degree in CS while working because I realized hat I needed to gain more knowledge to grow professionally. I doubt that someone who studies a CS curriculum online without going through an accredited program is r

I think such people exist, but I also think that this does not warrant someone to compare themselves to a professional with a degree. Much like I would not dare to compare myself to a doctor by reading a book about biology.

I agree with your sentiment. However I think a well rounded education is important, having a group of well rounded individuals in a team will be more productive. As a hiring manager I think about the team also and not only the individual I

I am not offering the ultimate truth here, just my opinion. However I notice that people seem to be offended by the notion that some knowledge of data structures is required. It's a very basic concept of how to efficiently handle and s

I guess a dinner would have been more than enough, having some face time with the boss to reflect on the past and perhaps plan the future. We don't do employee reviews either, so not much communication with the boss here.
