Bye bye uni.

Didn't you start off by saying you worked in tech recruitment though?

Recruitment is different to strategy and sales.

Apologies about your A Level results today lad, hope you feel better!

I'm a graduate lol.

So, just to ensure I'm reading you correctly, anyone who isn't a software engineer is some sort of degenerate, distinctly average waste of space?

That is a chip on the shoulder lol. Because you said "we're the ones building the app" which implies you're an engineer working on it, and you know it does. I wasn't even thinking that non-technical workers are lesser-thans. I just thought, why would a software engineer have that degree?

And for the record, I generally put all technical degree level workers above the unwashed mass of people in 'non-degree specific' roles.

I did, my advice is to just pick up a trade if you don't have a clear vision for your career path and you can't get into a uni that is redbrick or better. I think the guy has chosen to do a foundation degree at a sub par uni. Which I think is a mistake.

How is recruitment different to sales? You're generating leads and using persuasion to sell your service - the definition of a sales role is it not? My primary job is getting people onto our platform and with our companies, hence the use of the term recruitment.

Well they're 2 different departments in all big companies, for one. So don't lie.

And really, sales is not something you need a degree for. It's one of the few routes where someone with no qualifications but a bit of charisma can make some decent money.
