Agree except possibly the 'good grades' part. I'm self-taught and work at a FAANG. I'm also a technical interviewer. I have never once asked for or looked at a candidate's GPA.

Looking at someone's GPA honestly wouldn't help me much at all. It's not like I know how rigorous <insert university here>'s math or economics departments are.

Unless you went to a college that's a household name in your geographical region (for example, Harvard in the United States), I'd leave off the GPA from the resume.

Try to learn as much as you can, but don't fret about getting the best grades. Very few people will honestly care about your grades; they care that you graduated and whether you have the technical and interpersonal skills to fit on the team. If a person won't hire you because your don't have a 4.0, trust me that's not someone you want to work for in the long run.

Totally agree. I do a lot of interviews for my employer and no one cares about your GPA or really even your degree once you have some work experience.

I've been working in IT and software development since I left high school; it was never a barrier that I went to school to be an aircraft mechanic and don't have a tech-related degree.
