Can you be hired as a developer if you are not holdind a cs degree?

Yeah

I do not have a CS degree and that is what I do.

Full stack developer here... With an English degree - I wanted to be a writer, maybe some day that dream will come true, heh.

@yo-adrian never give up

Never went to school, still working as a developer...

Thanks guys... you gave me a push of hope

@dotdeb - thanks :)

Yes. But with a CS degree you will have an easier way landing jobs. Just the way the world work.

I'm a project manager. Taught myself Android Dev and my company liked the work I did. They assessed me and are in the process of moving me into the Dev department. If it's what you want you'll find a way to make it happen.

Yes, but it will be harder. Initially it will be even harder and a lot of places might not even take non-CS grads. The pay will be less compared to a CS grad. But keep pursuing and when you have proven skill set and some experience under your belt, then all these won't matter. Till then hustle on.

All the best and welcome to devRant!

19 y/o without a degree at all.Highest paid in my company.

@andredippenaar
Thanks!Your story inspired me...and good luck in your new role :)

Thanks @rayanon... great encouraging words :)

@bdhobare... nice to hear about that :) wish you more and more success

I've never mentioned I have it on any of my CV b4. Never have, never will.

Bachelor's in Mechanical engineering ..But I work in a top MNC as a full stack developer and my efforts were appreciated as I performed well,so my PM sent me to UK (On-site) ! My total experience - 2.5 yrs ..If I can do ..
You can definitely ! Happy coding :)

@Vikram thanks for sharing your story :) it means a lot to me as I am a mechanical engineer too ..

Untimately, in my opinion degree is just a cert. I'm currently doing my degree and most of the rant here is alien language for me...

@Xerev interesting point!
And Welcome to devrant :)

@codeBoy Glad to be here. There's so many things I can learn from here!
