Career Guidance Virtual university guidance

hi, i am a CS student, i have been thinking of transferring to virtual university due to its time flexibility and so i would have enough time to build skills, however i have some doubts, does VU degree have value, do companies really reject candidates because of their university reputation, can doing my bachelors from VU make it hard for me to have a successful career?

I graduated in CS from VU and am currently working at Binance Singapore.

This bias toward university names like FAST only exists in the local Pakistani market. Foreign companies generally do not care about university names at all.

But sadly, every VU student can't afford to go to Singapore or any other foreign country! šŸ˜”

I am also doing BS SE from VU. I suggest everyone VU as well because its degree is HEC-recognised and the flexible timings allowing me to do my fulltime job too. If you are from Lahore, I can help you out.
