Simple Programmer Podcast 163: Do I Need A Prestigious Degree To Get Hired By A Big Company?

Do I Need A Prestigious Degree To Get Hired By A Big Company? This is a question I receive a lot: "John, do I need a prestigious degree to get hired by a big company?". People fear that they won't be able to get hired by a big company like Google or Microsoft if they don't possess a prestigious degree. Is is true? Big companies have merely two ways of recruiting people: 1- They use recruiters and get people right from universities. Those are the really big universities, the prestigious one. 2- They get a referral. If you don't fit on the first option, there is definitely other paths you should follow to get hired by a big company. Bottom line is: No... You actually DON'T need a prestigious degree to get hired by a big company. Wanna know how to do then? Listen to this podcast and find out!
