Does people’s career get limited without Masters?
I am 7+ YoE and wondering if my career growth is limited now since I don’t have a masters degree.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑
My opinion: When hiring at mid to senior levels, HRs want to get credible people. Who knows frameworks and can be scaled further, etc. Unfortunately, there are no easy filters for HRs to shortlist profiles.
Credibility comes either when you have worked at solid places or when you have educational badges like IIT/ISB.
In my case, I am a btech from tier 3 college.. worked mostly in very early stage startups. All in took was one person at a unicorn co to bet on me in 2022. Now I get calls from other large cos. Earlier, this was never the case.
But yes, this is specific to tech/ product careers
Good to know man thanks for sharing
Degree is not looked at if you have good work ex..
In tech it is not at all a limiting factor. If you are in a 'business' role or even in a product role, there will be companies where you might hit a ceiling unless you are an absolute standout performer
