Counter-experience: I don’t have a college degree, but I have ~25 years’ experience in tech. I never submit anything in the “education” section of applications but typically haven’t had a problem getting interviews - including with the big name co’s. Admittedly, it’s possible I’m getting dropped silently from some applications but the only people who actually ask about my education at this point are recruiters looking to populate their database fields.
