How to ask a recruiter if they would consider a bachelors degree instead of the masters they are asking for? Anyone had any success? I only have a BS but I’m a little a head of my peers (took some graduate level classes in college, done proper academic research, and have taken on some seniors positions in projects)

Just ask them if there's any flexibility. Often times the recruiters will leave it up to the hiring manager to decide. Of course do keep in mind that you may already be at a disadvantage if the Master's degree is a strong preference and there are other candidates who fit the bill.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.
