I think grades matter only when you're looking for your first role ever. Once you have 1+ year of experience, no one cares about grades anymore.
Anyway, I see what you mean. I have Nigerian parents, and grades, school and university are a huge deal in Nigerian culture.

Some people don't excel at school, but they may excel in other areas of life. And it's okay too!
