Same. None of my interviewers read my resume (or my github)and bemoaned the fact that my degree was not from an IVY league university, right to my face.


It seems like the total dickishness quotient went down over the last 5 years. Airbnb gave my favorite on-site interview, and they were chill with my lack of degree. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

edit: disclaimer: i work at airbnb


That sounds like a raw, perfect insight into a company I wouldn't want to work for.


Agreed, these comments are far better than the article.


That's the point in which I walk out. So disrespectful and shortsighted.
