Slightly misleading title: "w/o a CS degree" yet has a ECE degree. I went through the same ECE program at a different school and from the experience of my peers and myself, an ECE degree is treated just like a CS degree (but not the other way around). Also, she already has experience working as a PM at Microsoft.

If this was coming from some random X school with a completely unrelated degree or big name company on the resume, I would agree with title, otherwise, no.

I am EE graduate myself. But I majored in Electrical engineering aspect (electricity generation/transmission, power supply etc.), but not nothing to do with hardware/chips design. I started programming at 25.

I have found that my biggest weakness is not programming, but the interviews where they grill you on CS fundamentals. Did you have to prepare for that?

So this is the kind of passion they're looking for, and even then they took 3 months!
