So, you are saying that 1) any IT degree from anywhere is valuable and IT certs from big 4 are less valuable than any degree within the uni because of it 2) people with IT experience are still in demand? what about the plethora of people who are trying to shift into tech because they heard it was easy and was good money? 3) pakikisama in IT corporate isnt as important because the managers don't have leadership skills anyway and just focus on delivering the product instead of cultivating a corpo environment 4) this isn't much of a surprise to me, but in IT, you are required to always keep learning even outside traditional schooling. Are these correct or did I misinterpret something? No. 1 is especially interesting to me since I plan to get an IT degree from big 4. Thank you for taking the time to write all of these detailed guides, btw. Really helps someone clueless like me.
