Is it hard to get into Google with no college degree?
3 YOE. I’ve heard the bar is higher for those without a degree as well. Thanks in advance!
I got in without one. After 2-3yoe of experience, having a degree matters almost nowhere, unless you’re talking about a phd (specialty roles) or masters (which usually gets you L+1 for same yoe) Exceptions for traditional companies like defense contractors and sometimes places like Microsoft, maybe banks (idk never tried) etc that may set degrees as a hard requirement. I’ve seen some roles at Msft not require it (I’ve had an offer) and others on the careers page that specifically ask if you have a degree and if no, system auto reject—with no tangible difference in the roles other than what was listed as “minimum requirements”
Capital One and Visa want college degrees still.
Wouldn’t work for a bank, most mind dumbing work ever.
For coding interview, u just need to pass the interview, nobody cares if u have no degree or graduated from MIT, they will fail u all the same if u suck.
Did the candidate write an optimal working code? That's the bottom line. As an interviewer, we don't care about background, ethnicity, college degree, caste, creed, religion, sexual orientation.
If you're a women minority. Then no.
Someone who went to prison worked for google So…
This varies by team. Most people in my SWE org have bachelors or more commonly masters. As others have said as long as you can code and have projects or certs comparable to a degree you should be in decent shape
If you get an interview, it's all the same. It doesn't matter what your background is. It might be harder to get the interview in the first place though. As an interviewer, I don't even look at the person's resume or history.
I understand this is the norm now. But how backwards does your last sentence even sound? I actually can't wrap my head around it.
I’m the same, don’t look at resume or history - it’s irrelevant. If what you did in the past is relevant, it’ll influence/shape your answers in the interview.
