[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College boards on reddit are full of engineering kids with awful GPAs struggling to get call backs and jobs. "Interview went well, I thought, but then they brought up my GPA..." sort of stuff. It's a giant red flag. Why would a hiring manager risk their own skin to hire some kid who's a liability?[/quote] I don't know where you are exactly but here in the DMV, there are plenty of engineering kids with awful GPAs but they have AWS cloud certifications. I can guarantee that those kids have no shortage for getting high paying IT jobs, especially in the gov. contracting sector. [/quote] Define "awful" GPA. And are the awful GPA kids white... or female/URM?[/quote] Awful GPA like between 2.0 and 2.3. Race or gender is not an issue as long as they have AWS cloud certifications. That's what government contractors are looking for, highly sought after.[/quote]
