Frequently asked questions
Can you really earn $100k+ in tech without a college degree?
Yes. Software engineering, DevOps, sales, and customer success roles routinely pay $100k–$200k+ and many companies (including top tech firms) have removed degree requirements. Google, Apple, IBM, and thousands of startups hire purely based on skills, portfolio, and experience.
Which six-figure tech jobs are most accessible without a degree?
Software engineering (bootcamp graduates hired regularly), DevOps/SRE (AWS/GCP certifications respected), sales/AE roles (quota attainment is the only metric), and customer success roles. Data engineering and product management are increasingly accessible too.
How do I compete against degree holders for $100k+ roles?
Build a strong portfolio on GitHub, contribute to open source projects, earn cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, Google Cloud Professional), and accumulate verifiable results (shipped projects, quota performance, uptime numbers). These outweigh a degree at most companies.
Do all companies on Six Figure Jobs hire without degrees?
Not all — some enterprise companies still list degrees as preferred. However, many postings treat degrees as a soft preference, not a hard requirement. Apply even if the listing says "BS preferred." Tech hiring is skills-first.
