“In the real world, where you got the degree just doesn’t matter. People care about your experience, intelligence, knowledge, flexibility, confidence, and reliability; even going to Harvard isn’t going to make up for a lack in those areas.”
I’ve been hiring manager in IT (software engineering) for many years and can state that recruiting manager really doesn’t care from where the degree is from – the experience, intelligence and knowledge is what counts. I’ve seen folks with PhD from leading universities that couldn’t answer the basic questions.
