| Jun 24, 2020 at 17:42 | comment | added | David Mulder | @NoSenseEtAl Not sure I understand what you mean with "long run". I can totally imagine that it makes sense to start a formal education rather than be jobless in the middle of a recession, but in the long run it's always "you with extra exp." or "you with an extra paper". Can't say which of those wins at any point in time, but even if a recession comes 10 years down the line it will still be "you with 10 years of exp." or "you with 5 years of exp. and a piece of paper". The former will probably mean your last position was called "senior developer" which I guess will help more than that paper. | |

| Jun 24, 2020 at 15:32 | comment | added | NoSenseEtAl | @DavidMulder correct, but I was talking long run(all the recessions during OPs long life), not the next one. | |
| Jun 24, 2020 at 15:13 | comment | added | David Mulder | Do note that the fair comparison in a recession is "person with no degree but 5 years of experience" or "person with a 5 year degree but no experience". Given that in a recession companies tend to make shorter term investments I am fairly confident people will pick the experience over the degree. | |
| Jun 24, 2020 at 6:58 | comment | added | NoSenseEtAl | @BigMadAndy that was worded poorly, edited answer to make it clear I was talking about the fact that bias exists, even where you would expect good companies to eliminate it since it does not help with getting best candidates. | |
