  • That being said, don't discount your expertise in your lived experience. The importance of theoretical and experiential expertise is equal in my eyes.

    Maybe not directly correlated, but I would hire someone with 10 years experience over someone who studied the subject for 10 years.

  • This was a while ago. My college didn't have a CS major (small liberal arts college) so they brought in an adjunct professor who was a Director of IT of a small market research firm. After 4 semesters as his student, he offered me a job my senior year. Longest interview ever.

    That was over 20 years ago.

    My current job (big tech) was from my friend who I worked with coming up to me and saying "A recruiter from [company] is calling you tomorrow. I gave them your name." Never in a million years did I think I was at that caliber, but I went through it anyway because the worst they could say is "no".

    They said "yes".
