The type of roles w/ non-degree holders matters here. I'm sure Google offers a great career in any of its roles, but the article makes it sound like positions Stanford grads apply to (PM + eng) already have lots of non-degree hold

I can share some real examples I've seen/heard of from trustworthy sources (I'm not there yet myself): - Open an independent bookstore in a medium-sized midwestern city's downtown - Get into the jewelry business (not sur

I'm surprised no one has raised the problem of senior managers and VPs underestimating and oversimplifying the complexity and LOE of work. It causes unrealistic timelines for others who do have to adhere to a release process (which is
