As someone who hires, my opinion is the exact opposite. A masters is good, but a PhD is at least a yellow flag.


> PhD is at least a yellow flag.

Why?


Usually an inability to get shit done, too much of a scientist vs. engineer approach (not good in industry outside of very specific jobs), and a personality type that is not an aggressive go-getter.

Yellow flag not red because this is a general observation with plenty of exceptions, of course.
