This is worth something.

I worked at a blue chip and we hired young devs with 2 years experience at major banks and they were clueless. I don't think they actually did anything. Worse, they didn't realize that they didn't know how to do anything. It was bizarre.

That said, it makes it hard to work in a normal corp, you have to find a special place to work where at least the pace is 'just right' i.e. you get to actually do thing, but they're not going to push you into the ground with too much work and stress.
