Does GPA matter to you when interviewing candidates?

Yes. Unless the candidate can convince me otherwise (subtly and proactively)

Yes it does

Depends on if they have other work experience that makes me believe they don’t need a data point to indicate their work ethic. If you have no experience then yes, a great GPA is helpful, if you had 3 strong internships and has two campus jobs I don’t need it

3 strong internships with no job conversion is a question mark...

Mostly as an example, but I’ve seen various students have sophomore internship with no expectation of a full time role and two junior year internships where they didn’t like the culture or there wasn’t a role available or the location wasn’t of preference.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
