Frequently asked questions
How do you know these jobs do not require a degree?
The posting has to say so, with phrasing like "no degree required", "degree is not required", or "or equivalent practical experience". Postings that name a required credential, such as "bachelor's degree required", are excluded.
Which large companies dropped degree requirements?
Google, Apple, IBM, Dell, Bank of America and Tesla have all removed degree requirements from most roles. Plenty of smaller companies never had them in the first place.
What replaces a degree on an application?
A portfolio. That is the only substitution that reliably works: three or four pieces of real work with a sentence each on what the problem was and what changed.
Can a no-degree job still pay six figures?
Yes. Sales, software engineering, DevOps, and specialised technical roles all clear six figures without a degree requirement. Use the minimum salary filter to see only the higher bands.
Does "or equivalent experience" really mean it?
Usually yes, and it is worth applying to. That phrasing exists because the hiring manager wants the skill rather than the credential.
