How many of them hold relevant degrees for job openings at Google?



I know multiple people who don't have a degree at all and have full-time SWE positions at FAANGs. One is even an engineering manager. This isn't the 2000s.

There's even a sourced 2018 article about current hiring practices trending away from degree requirements for you to peruse:

It's not about the degrees (relevant or otherwise).
