What carries more weight in today's tech job market, credentials or real world experience? Have you noticed employers showing more interest in what you have built than what you have studied? My experience has shown that hands on projects and practical problem solving often lead to more meaningful conversations during the hiring process. Which has made the biggest difference in your tech career, experience or qualifications?

In the past, experience. Now? I have no idea what's happening in the hiring process.

Now the rules keep shifting, back then experience used to be king, but now it feels like a mix of timing, networking, and luck too

Experience. Proving that you’re able to execute in a business environment beats credentials every time.

Since you all are wise, I have a question, not really a confession though…but I will add a confession at the end..

If you submit to a specific role at a large company and they reject you for the role you applied, would you still be on file if there are other roles that are a match? Or, do you have to apply to each role? I am thinking it is the latter.

Confession question…how often do you stalk exes or people you used to work with? Like someone will come to mind and I will immediately (cont)

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
