&gt;&gt; Should I just burn my CS degree ?<p>Neah !! Jobs are not about the degree only, still having a degree always adds up. Try half a dozen other companies. This response is typical of small size startup who instead of inviting you for a drink invite you to an interview with their two person team. I was rejected by three companies (2+ engineers) before the present company (15+ engineers) made me an offer. It wasn&#x27;t even a coding interview at all, the Sr. Engineer wanted to have a <i>conversation</i> for a couple of minutes.
