Does FAANG India hire candidates without any degree ?
I have read in multiple places that FAANG hiring abroad is focused more on experience+skill, and less on degree. Infact people with no graduate degrees are also hired, if they have the relevant skills. Was curious to know if this holds up for their Indian counterpart hiring. Does Google/Microsoft/Amazon/Apple in India hire candidates if they have the relevant experience/skills but absolutely no degree ? If they actually do hire, what are the important pointers that the hiring team usually look into for such profiles?
Indian hiring scenario is different. They want not only degree, but excees (and industry specific) experience & have very high bar. Its very common in US to see liberal arts/political science person being an SVP at 20 yrs experience in US. In India, such a person will never ever be hired even in junior roles.
Damn... Was really hoping that the FAANG would keep the same hiring practice everywhere
