Honestly, advanced degrees have become a bit overrated in today’s job market.

like

Yes, I’ve been feeling this too. I have an advanced degree, but it seems like companies are looking for very specific niche skills or AI-driven solutions instead of well-rounded, highly educated candidates.

You’re not alone. I hold an MBA and several industry certifications, but even with all that, finding the right role has been tough. It feels like AI is filtering out candidates based on keyword algorithms, and we don’t even get a chance to showcase our broader skill sets.

I'm sure there's a lot of truth to that, but I'm also skeptical of someone who has applied for 1,000 jobs. That seems to amount to shooting your resume out of a t-shirt cannon, so you have to wonder how effective a strategy it could be. I can't get past the paywall to read the details of the story, but it just strikes me as an odd example to use to prove a larger point.

Hi All,

I’m filling out my background check for my Deloitte offer. Is the professional career start date the date I started my job after college or literally the date I had my first job (if it’s in the 25 years Deloitte asks about)?

My security clearance asks for 10 years but nothing before 18, and it seems weird if Deloitte wants to know high school jobs.

Any help would be appreciated!
