    Ngl if it weren’t for my soul crushing student loan debt, I’d do this. Not to qualify for jobs or gloat, I just love learning.

    I hope to start a PhD before 40 but the finances and family life aren’t looking too promising.

      Bruh. I question very seriously the wisdom of any applicant who has a PhD. Considering that a good deal of my job requires me to fire useless phds when their idiot bosses won’t do it.

      I have a PhD, btw. Been through the trenches.

    What’s crazier is the Twitter guy acting like he was taking a risk…

    If I was the applicant and I found out about this, I’d 100% start applying to a new company.

    You might get the job, but no one is going to listen to you.

    Edit:

    Or does LinkedIn look like Twitter now? I never used it so assumed it was Twitter and the screenshot was linked in profile

    If I saw this I’d be seriously concerned as a recruiter (I do recruitment for my firm sometimes), bit of a red flag. Does this person have any work experience whatsoever?

    Am I being cynical or oblivious when I see that history and assume it’s mostly bullshit?

      He was getting a masters in math at Harvard at the same time he was getting a masters in education at Stanford, while also going to Stanford Business School.
