  Yeah, that's on you. With MS, FB, Goog, you know its coming. Maybe apply to Amz or Tesla. I hear both are brutal but merit based places to work.

    I didn't have a great GPA. To work at Tesla you have to have like a 3.8 or above.

    Tesla would be bad ass though.

      Interesting. I got a BSc from a satellite of Rice Uni, our GPA system went in reverse. 1 was best, 4.3 was fail. I got 1.5

      Didn't know real world companies cared about GPA. No one ever asked me after Uni to even show my transcript or degree. They just wanted to know what I could code in and how many years of exp I had.

      They seriously won't even interview you if your GPA is lower than 3.8 ? Incredibly stupid. There's a worldwide shortage of engineers. So dumb.

        I would have thought having a portfolio of actual work matters more. When a contract needs delivering in 48hrs, can you code or can't you?!

        Yeah Tesla is the only one I know of that does that even years after your graduate. Intel might too.
