I had someone try to low ball me on a salary because “you’re asking for that salary and you’re self taught?”. Yes. And I was paid almost double what you were offering per year 1 month later at a new company.
I can personally testify that my understanding of software engineering is weaker than my peers who received an education. However it’s almost never mattered for our work.
