Exactly. I don't want to spend weeks interviewing people, my boss doesn't want to pay me to interview people, and my PM wants someone who can work on their tickets ASAP. It will be much easier for me if I can just hire you.

So "give me reasons to say yes" is great advice, along with "don't give me reasons to say no" (like lying or being an arrogant douchebag).

Use things like degrees as a green flag, rather than the absence of one being a red flag.

Ultimately, you have to decide if you actually want to work with the person you are hiring.

I don't quite get what you mean by degrees, university degrees? is being self-taught a red flag?
