This is also only an anecdotal report; not sure if there's been any actual research on to what extent degrees/GPA are considered during hiring. If I was to speculate, I'd say it's probably more likely to be considered for research positions or when the company comes from an academic culture, with a lot of PhDs on staff. | |
