Comment on Ask HN: Did Anyone Else Here Simply Not Do Well at School?

Comments

Failed my last course in University, which meant I had to complete another semester on an already 5 year degree. Graduated with a GPA that people didn't believe it was possible to graduate with.

Guess what, it never mattered. I worked my way from a 5 person consulting gig to FANG now over a 10+ year period. My grades, the school I went to, and the amount of time I took to complete my degree has never mattered.

My advice for everyone is, work hard and be curious. Take each failure with a grain of salt and keep trying.
