As someone who has given far more technical interviews than I ever asked to, I can safely say that the biggest thing you can have on a resume to get fast tracked to an interview is a degree from some Ivy League school. I can also safely say that those people are no smarter, cleverer, or harder working than people with no degree at all, and in fact most of these people were completely useless. Doubly so if they'd spent 5+ years at a FAANG company.
One of my worst professional experiences was working with someone who was an MIT grad and Amazon alum. They didn't do anything unless given extremely clear and detailed step-by-step instructions and didn't seem to have any intrinsic motivation at all.
I feel this. I do as little as possible since the only reward for hard work is more work. I do not care if I put more profits into my overlords hands
