At my 30s I found out that there was a developer inside a Political Science Graduated.
I've been COO an CMO for 4 years but I decided to persue my dream and become a Front-end developer:)
Location
Elche, Alicante, Spain
Education
Certificate of Higher Education for Web Applications Development & Degree in Political Science
I was thinking about this issue today actually and discussing it with my friend/mentor. I do think it is a way to show your potential and have a strong personal brand.
It helps, although it doesn't do all the job. Nowadays degrees do not mean much.
For instance, I have never obtained a degree or certification on English. Never needed it. The companies I attended for an interview just run the interview in English.
Later on, when I had to interview people myself to hire them, did the same.
So, the coding test is like a second stage, and the portfolio a tool that helps you to go through the first one.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
