On a serious note, why not? Assuming your wavelength matches and the person is interesting. Diploma is not always a guarantee hat the person is smart.

I dated a guy who didn't go to college for a few months. He was a pothead in high school, but he had stopped by the time I met him. He worked in the mail room for a brokerage firm. He couldn't afford the things I wanted to do (going to Broadway shows etc). I called it a quits when he called me at 1am the night before the lsats.

It's a red flag, but not a deal breaker. Plenty of very smart people who didn't go to college. Do they love learning? Can they work hard and dedicate themselves to a subject, task, project, goal? I ask the same questions of college grads; I am usually disappointed, regardless of level of education... except maybe PHDs, they're usually worth a convo. Most people went for the certificate, but I'm wired differently and that's ok.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Tech Mahindra Hey guys, I attempted Hackathon by tech Mahindra (for jr java developer 1-3 yr exp).
