Just to clarify - when you say degree, do you mean a CS degree specifically, or any college degree at all?

And for US devs who have gotten work visas in the EU - does this distinction matter for having your work permit approved? I have lots of work experience but I'm self taught with a BA, wonder if that would hold me back.

Any college degree. I started working when I was 14, finished high school when I was 16 and went straight into tech instead of uni.

Supposedly there's an exception where they evaluate experience vs credentials, but in my experience it hasn't been true, or it's used as an excuse not to hire.
