I used to work with a guy who dropped out of a gamedev course at a second-tier university. Graduate SWE at a respectable/selective company and all.

Admittedly, this was at a company with about 500 employees and 1 part-time HR person (who quit 6 months later and wasn't replaced).

I started in the industry 7 years ago without a degree and am doing well.

do you think it's possible to work at companies like amazon and google without a degree at all?
