Is higher education compulsory in IT?

It is unlikely that among our readers there are schoolchildren who are thinking about a career, but most likely there are nephew children who already ask: “Where to go to study after school to become like you?”


In a number of interviews, both with domestic CTOs , and with Western developers from Google and Tungsten Labs , I repeatedly met with the opinion that higher education is not a necessary factor when hiring, and its absence is not considered a “stop flag” at interviews in western companies. More attention is paid to the knowledge and skills that sometimes a person received and studied independently.


And then we at Southbridge decided to do a little research among friends of CTO, CEO and development managers.



First, let's try to determine the subject of the study. Higher education - what are its pros and cons at the moment?
