Degrees and exams matter very little in practice in my experience.
Some of the best programmers I have meet were self taught, some of them were former physicists, some of them had a candidacies.
Some companies use it as a filter for job applications tho.
So I guess the answer is, it depends, sector, company values, geography, etc. all matter.
So, a question to ask first might be, where do you wanna work?
Probably somewhere I can have and get respect and people are good and friendly.
