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. 29 Likes |

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 15 Likes |

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. 1 Like |

 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 1 Like |
