Hi there, Java Dev at big tech company (not FFANG big, but big) here. Just did 3 interviews last week, and we have 4 more people lined up next week. I looked at resumes before each interview so I could see what experience they had and what they worked on, so I would know what to ask about, and could calibrate my technical questions appropriately.

I never once looked at someone's education. Quite frankly, I do not give a singular shit.

Management/HR might be different, other devs may have different attitudes. But I thought it might be worth putting my recent experience out there. Which, to reiterate, is that I care what you've worked on, and what you have experience with, not what credentials you have.
