I find this quite shocking. Probably the only solution is to abandon all pretence that a grade at one institution means the same as a grade at another. That puts the burden of evaluation on employers, but that isn't obviously a bad idea.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-48951653 …

I have never asked nor been asked for my GPA in an interview. I have been asked and have asked applied knowledge questions I would expect someone to know if they did well in their stated degree.

The valley is the only place in the world that accepted me for who I am and didn't judge me. Employers elsewhere asked for my GPA and if I could come to the office every day(which is impossible due to my physical disability). It took me a while to believe in myself again.

In your experience, have you seen correlation between high GPA & high performance?
-
I don't know. I've never bothered to ask anyone what their GPA was.

Actually, I think that grades are still a good way for huge corporates to hire - if you get +1000 applications, you simply can't check everyone's side projects... Putting the grades in a sheet and selecting the top 1% seems like a good solution for big corps tbh.
