Like he said, they care less now, if you know how to get results, it doesn't matter how you learnt.
How do you persuade a company to hire you as a marketing manager without concrete evidence of your abilities? I believe I was made for advertising and started doing it many years ago as a kid, but I wasted lots of time working other jobs (not believing in myself) and now I'm dying on the inside from not being in a position where I can maximize my potential
@@APerez89 just build a portfolio my dude, that's literally the key to any digital job. Who cares if you worked other jobs. Start tomorrow, build your new marketing portfolio. Prove that you know and understand business, marketing, and advertising and you'll get hired anywhere. Can you explain the point of an advertising campaign? Direct marketing vs brand marketing? Can you plan out a marketing campaign? Have you done so before? How many times and what were the results? Who were you targeting, how did you target them and what were the results of the campaign? These are all questions you might get asked or have to explain to a marketing executive. The more experience you have running campaigns, the better chance you have of landing a job as you'll have real world experience and not just theoretical "knowledge" of marketing/advertising.
And achieving those results and making a portfolio sellable of your brand is even harder nowadays. Competition. Yes it's easier to learn. Yes it's harder to get a job and freelance now that the market is saturated.

@@Hellonerds09 Many who code have. The same way many people who have degrees don’t have jobs in that field. It’s about the personal effort and persistency more than it’s about the degree. Moreover, most people who get those degrees aren’t the most socially inclined. I’ve gotten jobs over more qualified people just because I am more adaptable and able to establish common ground quickly that the job gets done.

They know their stuff bro even the Japanese, Korean and Chinese stereotype them for being smart and those cultures go hard on studying. Put some Respek on em bro
The idea of needing a college degree to do something is actually a relatively new concept. People used to work as apprentices under masters and eventually- after many, many years, would be deemd a master. Colleges and Universities, historically speaking, were mostly for scholerly work. Nowadays however, they by and large monopolized the pathway to most careers and cheapened the meaning of "master" through certificates that label people as such with very little real world experience in a given profession. Glad companies are wising up to this and judging people based on their skills rather than a piece of paper.
Lmaoo I think those apprenticeships are relevant when speaking of hands on skills, not something an aspiring lawyer or doctor would undergo. You need actual learned knowledge and deep understanding before you’re hands on.

I was a software developer at AWS and they didn't care about a degree... They just checked I met the bar for technical knowledge, ticked boxes in regards to leadership principles and then bam! Hired! Even when I was hiring, I don't think I looked at education... Answering questions quickly and correctly, describing how you arrive at an answer tells me a lot about where you are in your programming journey. I also liked it when people admitted they didn't know the answer but still try to figure it out by narrowing down the possibilities.
This clip of him is what directly inspired me to get back into programming. It was a passion when I was little but I didn't grow up in an environment where I could learn unfortunately
I will say, from my experience in the few coding class at my college, if you are completely self taught, you need to be either really talented or have a good resource for troubleshoots. There are a lot of CS students who struggle daily and constantly need extra help sessions after class, while there are non CS major students just go to class and get a straight A. Michael is definitely a talented programmer that’s probably why online classes are sufficient for him.
You know CS is field where you can earn a lot, so naturally it attracts a lot of people. Not all those people are good. From my experience, the students that need a lot of extra hours after classes are usually, not always!!, not the brightest ones. If you are intelligent you can teach yourself so easy. I am an engineer, I had no classes where they teach programming. I still manage to find solutions online for the problems that I wanna solve.
@@loonator1995 it’s about knowing how to PROBLEM SOLVE and find answers to your questions. I am retired national intelligence.

There’s an approximate metric Uber shitload of people trying to get their first job in tech. It’s really fucking hard to do, even if you have a degree. Corporations use a degree as a filter because hey - for cheap juniors who’re probably not gonna stick around that long anyway, it’s at least some way to filter 10k candidates besides leetcode. The best companies will recognize talent outside of that, but make goddamn sure you’re presenting your talent well if that’s you.
@mrbonotbbilly not always true, my friend. With a depth of experience on both sides of the coin, I can tell you I've hired and been hired for positions based on experience alone.

@@M_Catch You could do all this and then some with a degree; without context this would be a "generalization," of which are often inaccurate or disingenuous beliefs.
This is the same with designers. Most marketing agencies will hire a designer based off of there portfolio rather than paper. At the end of the day they need someone who knows what they are doing not someone with the highest degree
If they're not looking at your portfolio, they're not hiring for skills... They're just filling slots, meeting hiring quotas, making "diversity hires" , etc for whatever stupid reason which benefits the company by filling the space.
@playversetv3877 it's a box hr has to tick off so you can get past them and onto the technical hiring managers who don't care about papers but your skill. Degree shows ambition and an ability to learn new things to hr and that's all they care about since they don't understand how to program

yeah, a company much rather wants someone whos been around in social circles not some guy being alone all day, also they need employees with 100ks of debt so that they have a reason to go to work every day
just lie...i know alot of people who just lie on their resume, if they check oh well you dont get the job and you move on to the next. they dont check boom you got a job.
Take one in a subject like computational maths or physics with credit for programming that covers the degree while making the money you spend on college not a complete waste since both of those two subjects have lots of transferable skills
You can learn how to do almost anything on RUclips. I didn’t even know how to switch to a spare tire when I bought my first car at 21. Now at 28 I do the routine maintenance on my car, wife’s car, SIL car, and parents cars. I’m able to fix most issues I come across and whatever I can’t fix (lack of specialty tools) I can at least diagnose the issue
They don't care.... after you get through the resume phase. Important distinction. Don't forget, you still have ATS to get through before you actually talk to a person.
I agree with this 100%. I didn't go to college and now I'm a full time software engineer. As long as you have a desire to learn and build a nice portfolio.
The fact that not going to college is stigmatized is just so stupid. The only difference between someone working a part time job and learning by themselves at home is the equivalent of someone going to college and working on the side. The only difference is the kid at home isn’t going 200k in debt
Being self-taught is difficult but worthwhile! It is a lot harder now to do the same on youtube, there is a lot of information amazing teachers worked hard to share here... Before it was easy to sort out the "spam videos for clicks" because it would be filled with dislikes.
So much bad information on all social media platforms about how easy it is to get into tech. Many college grads are struggling to find roles right now. The big tech companies absolutely prefer people with degrees over people without degrees. Learning to code and getting to an employable point takes years of hard work and is not an easy get rich quick path.

Why would they hire you? For there benefits ofc. Did you think the corporations are giving you little timmy a chance by dropping degree requirements?? Hell no. They want to maximize their reach, they don't want to block off the great programmers that is having great skill and doing great projects out of love while not studying CS, they want those people, they will pay the same, so why not choose the best? Why statistically limit your reach.
Degrees for cs go hot and cold. When I first started, there were a limited number of schools offering programs. Degree programs really boomed around 2000. Before then, it was easy to get work. I had no trouble. After that.. it became harder. I was self-taught too. I ended up getting a degree in 2010s just because I did see Degrees became really important. But I see a drop off of that again recently. Especially if you have notoriety like this kid. I think that's what helped me too. I mean when I first started there wasn't a youtube. But I worked with several companies on hard projects as a contractor. So I kinda got locally know for a short amount of time. I found most places I could just walk into with no issue. Until companies started requiring degrees.
Good luck getting a job now with no cs degree. There have been periods of time in which the most incompetent developers could easily get well paying jobs.
@@Isaac-eh6uu I actually know a lot of people who works with programming with no degree. Getting a degree opens a lot of doors of course. But not having one does not close all the doors. Like Michael says, there's a LOT of places that only care if you know or not, portfolio is your best bet. I know people that dropped out of college because they made their portfolio so great that they were hired and didnt see the need to get the degree.
There's some pretty good reasons to want developers with CS degrees. I have a bachelor's and I'm not qualified for a lot of positions which require masters or PhD. 75% of software developers don't benefit from a CS degree in their position though. I definitely don't use much of what I learned in school, I was a programmer long before I started college
What are your working projects? Those projects need to hold value for faang to think they can enhance your skills. Make meaningful projects you’ll get hired at big tech. Or just get a degree that might work as well.
@@duke6477 Most universities don't necessarily teach things that you will use in the field. Most companies use specific tools and equipment that varies widely from place to place, and will train new hires on their specific tasks. The degree is more to show that you have the ability to adapt to that field, not that you already know everything.
I talked with some people from google hiring team and they told me that they DO take into consideration if you finished uni or not especially if you want to get an internship at them it’s crucial to study at an university.I agree that a few years back you could learn programming on youtube and get a job.Nowadays this industry is oversaturated and the requirements of each company increased dramatically meaning it’s a lot harder to learn a good amount of information that will get you hired.I am not saying it’s impossible,it’s just really hard and not how people expect it to be
and on top of this, people are making it seem like its black and white: degree or no degree, when usually the people that went to university have additional certification, internship, or shadowing experience on top of their degree. even then its hard for them to get a job when theres like 100+ applicants for one job.
As a software engineer going on a decade now, I can tell you, a degree in computer science means nothing to me. College teaches you how to think like everyone else. The self taught programmers are always the ones who come up with unique solutions and approach every problem with a fresh perspective.
I can’t believe he cut out the second part of the video where he reviews purple bed and pillows while doing a getting ready with me routine in the morning
I would say it's definitely the harder path. And I can speak from experience because I've tried both. It's incredibly difficult to be the teacher, program coordinator, and the student. But If you find a good college they teach you how to think in general and for your major. The degree is like a guarantee that definitely makes it easier to find a job. Just be careful of the colleges that are trying to teach you what to think.
Everyone learns differently, the self taught path isn't for everyone. Me personally, I found self teaching a lot easier than school. I never went to college and took a similar path of Michael. Except I'm not a youtuber lol
I went closer to his path. I work for one of the largest software companies in the world and I have no college degree and no formal education beyond high school. What I did was start work early after high school in similar, entry level jobs. I slowly moved up and eventually landed a full time salary job where I'm at now. Currently making about $170k/year after bonuses. I have never ever, not once, ever been asked about my education, lack of college, or anything about how I actually know what I know. In the full interview they just wanted me to prove I knew how to problem solve and wanted to get an understanding of how I think and approach problems.
Software engineering is unique in that the degree you leave with rarely covers the mechanics of your day to day work which is changing rapidly as technology evolves. Frequently employers are looking for candidates with experience on their specific tech stack and that trumps any degree.
@@MattDunlapCO true but it's easy to miss fundamentals that are always applicable in some way. Things you didn't know you didn't know. Questions you don't know to ask. This is what's great about doing college at least for the beginner. Further education is becoming dubious at best and I would agree it's even more the case for software engineering.
@@reachtrev69 I have a CompSci degree, but the best engineer I know started working out of high school and is entirely self-taught. He had a hard time getting interviews before his first full-time non-consulting job (working for me at a major FinTech almost 18 years ago) but then no one ever cared that he didn't have a degree again.
Harvard also does markets online..thats how I learned. When people ask me, I say I went to Harvard School of Business, because, I DID. I did all the tests, bought the books and completed full studies. Yay Harvard!
It's always been like this. Employers never cared if you got papers as long as you got the skills. Only exceptions would be professions that require certain official qualifications like doctors, lawyers, etc. Programming? Marketing? Building? Art? Really, just about anything outside of those professions that require qualifications... employers won't care about papers if you can show you have the skills and it's always been the case. If they seem to care it simply means you don't have the skills. If you have them, you can prove it and you won't have much trouble convincing them.
@@thenonexistinghero you clearly missed the point of what he is saying. If everyone understands it, then why do people pay ridiculous fees to go to university instead of college.
@@JunixKuizon People pay ridiculous fees because most are not competent enough to learn and study on their own initiative. Doesn't change the fact that if you are competent enough, you don't need papers for most professions.

Hello I hire for one of the companies mentioned, there is a lot of bad graduates today, it is not a sign of excellence to have a degree in itself. But the best graduates out of uni/college do land the best jobs.
I'm not sure when this interview happened, but as a computer science graduate, this is not true for at least the last two years. Without a degree your resume will be thrown out.
yeh i mean take it as face value. sure in almost any field, you have people from different backgrounds getting jobs without specific education in it . but theres also a lot of people who go to school for it and employers also regard it or prefer it. so thats why people go to school for it . and lets be honest. michael is really smart, very competent. hes one of "those" people, they dont need a university to back them up
Then, after THOSE resumes have been tossed out... ...without (x-years) experience, your resume AND your degree get tossed out too. Point is, the type of job YOU'RE talking about, is the kind in which they're just looking to FILL an obligatory position because they *HAVE TO* or are looking for a specific "diversity hire." NOT because they *NEED* someone that can show they're capable of producing the results they WANT. In cases where they NEED someone who can produce results they WANT, then no, degrees don't matter. Skill does.
@@Jadebones THAT, just simply is NOT true. Company's are going to BASE if you can DO what they want based on your EDUCATION. That's the first, and fastest verifiable piece of information about you. Your comment is not realistic. No company is just looking to put butts in chairs just because they "HAVE to." They all "NEED someone who can show they're capable of producing results," and the degree of severity of how much they need someone is not going to make their requirements less strict, if anything that would make them more likely to throw out someone without a degree. The sheer number of applicants makes it a necessity to not spend a long time reading through resumes. How do you imagine you're going to prove you're capable when your application is thrown out when they filter for the initial requirements? You think they're going to check through the in depth parts of your resume when you don't meet the traditional baseline of an education? Especially because companies spend so little time actually looking at resumes in the initial screening process, or simply use a tool that scans for them. Degrees always matter.
@@tjpaiva3296 i doubt that you would even get an interview if they see that you got no degree, when they write in the career info that a bachelors is the minimum.
@@marlonjormungand7845 it doesn't work like that in jobs that require skill. If you have the skill you can do it. It's a requirement because they do want those people but I'm telling you, if you have good work and show them it can definitely get you in.

Like he said, they care less now, if you know how to get results, it doesn't matter how you learnt.
And you have zero student loan debt 😎
How do you persuade a company to hire you as a marketing manager without concrete evidence of your abilities?

@@APerez89 just build a portfolio my dude, that's literally the key to any digital job. Who cares if you worked other jobs. Start tomorrow, build your new marketing portfolio.
Prove that you know and understand business, marketing, and advertising and you'll get hired anywhere. Can you explain the point of an advertising campaign? Direct marketing vs brand marketing? Can you plan out a marketing campaign? Have you done so before? How many times and what were the results? Who were you targeting, how did you target them and what were the results of the campaign?
These are all questions you might get asked or have to explain to a marketing executive. The more experience you have running campaigns, the better chance you have of landing a job as you'll have real world experience and not just theoretical "knowledge" of marketing/advertising.
And achieving those results and making a portfolio sellable of your brand is even harder nowadays. Competition.
Yes it's easier to learn. Yes it's harder to get a job and freelance now that the market is saturated.

The idea of needing a college degree to do something is actually a relatively new concept. People used to work as apprentices under masters and eventually- after many, many years, would be deemd a master.
Colleges and Universities, historically speaking, were mostly for scholerly work. Nowadays however, they by and large monopolized the pathway to most careers and cheapened the meaning of "master" through certificates that label people as such with very little real world experience in a given profession.
Glad companies are wising up to this and judging people based on their skills rather than a piece of paper.
Lmaoo I think those apprenticeships are relevant when speaking of hands on skills, not something an aspiring lawyer or doctor would undergo. You need actual learned knowledge and deep understanding before you’re hands on.
@@Splif128I'd prefer a lawyers without a degree who's worked directly for a lawyer for 3+ yrs and passed the BAR over a 0yrs work lawyers fresh out of college who got the same score on the BAR

I can testify that what he saying is true. I got an offer with Amazon with no formal education
I will say, from my experience in the few coding class at my college, if you are completely self taught, you need to be either really talented or have a good resource for troubleshoots. There are a lot of CS students who struggle daily and constantly need extra help sessions after class, while there are non CS major students just go to class and get a straight A. Michael is definitely a talented programmer that’s probably why online classes are sufficient for him.
You know CS is field where you can earn a lot, so naturally it attracts a lot of people. Not all those people are good. From my experience, the students that need a lot of extra hours after classes are usually, not always!!, not the brightest ones. If you are intelligent you can teach yourself so easy. I am an engineer, I had no classes where they teach programming. I still manage to find solutions online for the problems that I wanna solve.

He isn't talking about a particular person. The people who made the podcast just edited him in for the "random Indian Guy"
@@YashRaj-zs1ooyes lol people are dense these days 😅
How dense are you my brother?

I'm so proud of TenZ for giving up gaming and moving on in life as a programmer ❤
Degrees for cs go hot and cold. When I first started, there were a limited number of schools offering programs. Degree programs really boomed around 2000. Before then, it was easy to get work. I had no trouble. After that.. it became harder. I was self-taught too. I ended up getting a degree in 2010s just because I did see Degrees became really important. But I see a drop off of that again recently. Especially if you have notoriety like this kid. I think that's what helped me too. I mean when I first started there wasn't a youtube. But I worked with several companies on hard projects as a contractor. So I kinda got locally know for a short amount of time. I found most places I could just walk into with no issue. Until companies started requiring degrees.
Good luck getting a job now with no cs degree. There have been periods of time in which the most incompetent developers could easily get well paying jobs.
@@Isaac-eh6uu I actually know a lot of people who works with programming with no degree. Getting a degree opens a lot of doors of course. But not having one does not close all the doors. Like Michael says, there's a LOT of places that only care if you know or not, portfolio is your best bet. I know people that dropped out of college because they made their portfolio so great that they were hired and didnt see the need to get the degree.
cs go
how do you get a degree in cs go?
@@red_freire and when did these people get hired? Even with people with degrees or bootcamps struggle to get interviews these days
big tech 100% cares if you went to college. Ive applied there many time with 10 years experience no degree. never get a call
Also if you’re lucky enough to get hired without a degree you probably won’t get any major promotions salary raises
There's some pretty good reasons to want developers with CS degrees. I have a bachelor's and I'm not qualified for a lot of positions which require masters or PhD. 75% of software developers don't benefit from a CS degree in their position though. I definitely don't use much of what I learned in school, I was a programmer long before I started college
What are your working projects? Those projects need to hold value for faang to think they can enhance your skills. Make meaningful projects you’ll get hired at big tech. Or just get a degree that might work as well.
Resume is worth less than portfolio
He said big tech doesn’t care if you went to college (((for programming))).
Its always the Indian guys on RUclips who come in clutch made me get an A for my math exam.🥵
Love to all those out there to teach us without profit
Here in the Philippines, it doesn't matter what you can do. Big companies here will only hire college graduates.
and some universities don't even teach you stuff that you need in the professional field.
@@duke6477 Most universities don't necessarily teach things that you will use in the field. Most companies use specific tools and equipment that varies widely from place to place, and will train new hires on their specific tasks. The degree is more to show that you have the ability to adapt to that field, not that you already know everything.
Most countries require a bachelors of some sort to get a job in a career. Only America really can you get a degree job without having an actual degree
The fact that just applying as a Janitor for a company needs this sh!t 💀
And youd think with all these requirements theyd pay you a lot, nope, you get minimum 3rd world country wage
I talked with some people from google hiring team and they told me that they DO take into consideration if you finished uni or not especially if you want to get an internship at them it’s crucial to study at an university.I agree that a few years back you could learn programming on youtube and get a job.Nowadays this industry is oversaturated and the requirements of each company increased dramatically meaning it’s a lot harder to learn a good amount of information that will get you hired.I am not saying it’s impossible,it’s just really hard and not how people expect it to be
and on top of this, people are making it seem like its black and white: degree or no degree, when usually the people that went to university have additional certification, internship, or shadowing experience on top of their degree. even then its hard for them to get a job when theres like 100+ applicants for one job.
As a software engineer going on a decade now, I can tell you, a degree in computer science means nothing to me. College teaches you how to think like everyone else. The self taught programmers are always the ones who come up with unique solutions and approach every problem with a fresh perspective.
So true!
True
You can be both.

Preach my guy ❤
I can’t believe he cut out the second part of the video where he reviews purple bed and pillows while doing a getting ready with me routine in the morning
I would say it's definitely the harder path. And I can speak from experience because I've tried both. It's incredibly difficult to be the teacher, program coordinator, and the student. But If you find a good college they teach you how to think in general and for your major. The degree is like a guarantee that definitely makes it easier to find a job. Just be careful of the colleges that are trying to teach you what to think.
Everyone learns differently, the self taught path isn't for everyone. Me personally, I found self teaching a lot easier than school. I never went to college and took a similar path of Michael. Except I'm not a youtuber lol
I went closer to his path. I work for one of the largest software companies in the world and I have no college degree and no formal education beyond high school.
What I did was start work early after high school in similar, entry level jobs. I slowly moved up and eventually landed a full time salary job where I'm at now. Currently making about $170k/year after bonuses.
I have never ever, not once, ever been asked about my education, lack of college, or anything about how I actually know what I know. In the full interview they just wanted me to prove I knew how to problem solve and wanted to get an understanding of how I think and approach problems.
Software engineering is unique in that the degree you leave with rarely covers the mechanics of your day to day work which is changing rapidly as technology evolves. Frequently employers are looking for candidates with experience on their specific tech stack and that trumps any degree.
@@MattDunlapCO true but it's easy to miss fundamentals that are always applicable in some way. Things you didn't know you didn't know. Questions you don't know to ask. This is what's great about doing college at least for the beginner. Further education is becoming dubious at best and I would agree it's even more the case for software engineering.
@@reachtrev69 I have a CompSci degree, but the best engineer I know started working out of high school and is entirely self-taught. He had a hard time getting interviews before his first full-time non-consulting job (working for me at a major FinTech almost 18 years ago) but then no one ever cared that he didn't have a degree again.
Harvard also does markets online..thats how I learned. When people ask me, I say I went to Harvard School of Business, because, I DID. I did all the tests, bought the books and completed full studies. Yay Harvard!
Hi
Hi
Hi
This is cool af 😎
How do you look more into this?
Dude is right. As a programmer myself who didnt come from a reputable school, companies pay more attention to experience than qualification.
It's always been like this. Employers never cared if you got papers as long as you got the skills. Only exceptions would be professions that require certain official qualifications like doctors, lawyers, etc.
Programming? Marketing? Building? Art? Really, just about anything outside of those professions that require qualifications... employers won't care about papers if you can show you have the skills and it's always been the case. If they seem to care it simply means you don't have the skills. If you have them, you can prove it and you won't have much trouble convincing them.
@@thenonexistinghero you clearly missed the point of what he is saying. If everyone understands it, then why do people pay ridiculous fees to go to university instead of college.
@@JunixKuizon People pay ridiculous fees because most are not competent enough to learn and study on their own initiative. Doesn't change the fact that if you are competent enough, you don't need papers for most professions. Even for a lot of professions that you do require certain papers for to legally practice it's possible to study on your own initiative and then basically just only go through the requirements to prove that you're capable to get those papers.
@@JunixKuizoninertia, most people can't learn by themselves. If you were raised in a world where you had to be quiet for hours since a boy, and then you make the same for years. What that will make yo your brain? You become a zombie, it's like unreal, but there is a lot of people extremely useless even I they have degrees.
I'm not even a coder and I know that. Experience is everything.
Hello I hire for one of the companies mentioned, there is a lot of bad graduates today, it is not a sign of excellence to have a degree in itself. But the best graduates out of uni/college do land the best jobs.
I'm not sure when this interview happened, but as a computer science graduate, this is not true for at least the last two years. Without a degree your resume will be thrown out.
I was just about to comment this. Absolutely horrible advice, though there are exceptions to everything.
yeh i mean take it as face value. sure in almost any field, you have people from different backgrounds getting jobs without specific education in it . but theres also a lot of people who go to school for it and employers also regard it or prefer it. so thats why people go to school for it . and lets be honest. michael is really smart, very competent. hes one of "those" people, they dont need a university to back them up
Then, after THOSE resumes have been tossed out...
...without (x-years) experience, your resume AND your degree get tossed out too.
Point is, the type of job YOU'RE talking about, is the kind in which they're just looking to FILL an obligatory position because they *HAVE TO* or are looking for a specific "diversity hire."
NOT because they *NEED* someone that can show they're capable of producing the results they WANT.
In cases where they NEED someone who can produce results they WANT, then no, degrees don't matter.
Skill does.
@@Jadebones THAT, just simply is NOT true. Company's are going to BASE if you can DO what they want based on your EDUCATION. That's the first, and fastest verifiable piece of information about you.
Your comment is not realistic. No company is just looking to put butts in chairs just because they "HAVE to." They all "NEED someone who can show they're capable of producing results," and the degree of severity of how much they need someone is not going to make their requirements less strict, if anything that would make them more likely to throw out someone without a degree. The sheer number of applicants makes it a necessity to not spend a long time reading through resumes.
How do you imagine you're going to prove you're capable when your application is thrown out when they filter for the initial requirements? You think they're going to check through the in depth parts of your resume when you don't meet the traditional baseline of an education? Especially because companies spend so little time actually looking at resumes in the initial screening process, or simply use a tool that scans for them.
Degrees always matter.
Only if your HR goons are idiots, which most are.
this is how we ended up with that accidental missile warning in Hawaii.
Checked the spacex career info just now. Requirements are always bachelors degrees my dear 🤗
Until you show them your work. This works in many careers
A lot of bakeries expect a bachelor's or associates unless you know how to bake
@@tjpaiva3296 i doubt that you would even get an interview if they see that you got no degree, when they write in the career info that a bachelors is the minimum.
@@marlonjormungand7845 send em a picture of you baking something you'll have a job
@@marlonjormungand7845 it doesn't work like that in jobs that require skill. If you have the skill you can do it. It's a requirement because they do want those people but I'm telling you, if you have good work and show them it can definitely get you in.
Really appreciate the quick explanation of the fang companies that was good and concise
