That's why I would like Perry to either substantiate the quote by posting
the recruiters name and company. I would stay away from the recruiter, if
this is indeed words from his mouth.
I had 0 certifications when I was making well into the 6 figures doing
engineering. If the company is looking strictly for certifications - move on.
Anyway, this is totally off topic so I am ending my thread.
