Experience always trounces degree. But you will need patience to hone your experience.

Both matters to employers except faang1


Get degree while getting experience


People with degree will always come first before people without degree

Take me for example

I have contributed features and bug fixes to popular open source projects but when I mention this to recruiters or during the technical interview, the interviewer doesn't seem to be interested in those.

They were more interested in what school I studied at, what other companies I worked for and how long, and how low of a salary I was willing to accept.

Thanks

Wetin be degree vs experience op?

Why not left eye vs right eye?
Or left hand vs right hand?

The world is not black and white

Experience bra.



Especially in I.T.

Experience will get you the job while degree will get you promotion


If anybody tells you anything aside this the person hate you

Employers like experience, but if you don't have the degree, you may not land where you belong.

Both

Experience.

For me, its is cognate experience over degree.

Experience for sure. If you like carry PhD, MBA, MSC Mphil e.t.c nothing beats experience.

Experienced degree

Wittyness.

Experience

But also try to have your degree

I'm a software developer, most of my interviewers never ask me questions about my degree but it mere presence in my CV make them focus on more important area, if it's not there they will probably ask, then I'll start to explain

If you can have your degree, please do
But if you have to choose between acquiring skill or degree, please and please acquire skill

You can always get degree or whatever later

They emphasize more on experience.

Make una easy for this tech world oo
Una want scatter my brain for this nairaland.



Well there's absolutely no way you can compare a degree to experience.
Degree can be bought,but experience can't be bought, purely what you know and have done overtime

Experience over degree

Degree

Experience is always better, most employers do not even need your degree other than the recruitment process. They just want to use it to filter out dummies who might be part of the applicants & focus on the bright ones.

Both are working together...

Even if you have experience, when applying for a job, your certificate would still be required...

There was a time was was working in a tech company, they deal with telephony and sales of avaya phones, anything video conferencing...

So there was a guy who is very good in tech, but he studied engineering, but he was emoyed, just because he has certificate and experience...

The guy was their team lead after 4month, after a year, he jakapa to a bigger company
