the bottom line is that the certs and degrees have never factored in for me.
Honestly, I wish there were more hiring managers like you out there.
My job is allowed to hire people without certs, but they have to be able to obtain them within 90 days as per our contract. So there's that too. If they know their shit, a cert shouldn't be hard to get, in my opinion.
Truth is, from my own experience, college didn't really prepare me for my professional career. Everything I learned to do my jobs I have learned by working at them. So that's how I hire.

That's a kind compliment. Thank you. :)
