When did Jon Voight become an NFL official ? <| sep |> You ' re kidding right ? I ' ve got about the same years experience and most of the time I couldn ' t tell you what qualifications the other devs have , if any . I ' ve also helped out with recruitment , reviewing CVs , doing technical interviews , etc . I ' ve even worked alongside the Director of recruitment for a unicorn , never has anyone mentioned needing a degree . I ' ve only ever been asked twice what qualifications I had once as I was named technical lead on a rather large grant application , and once during a patent application . Both times it was just in case I wanted to put the letters after my name . From Junior to Lead levels it has always been more about what you could actually do and the experience you have than any degree .
