"who was tragically underemployed for years because of his low GPA in college"

Who puts their GPA on their resume, or even discusses it, 2-3 years out of school? I have never discussed GPA or anything about their academic experience to mid/senior level candidates, nor has anyone ever asked me.

Totally agree with this. If they were tragically underemployed for years, I'd bet almost anything it was not because of their college GPA.

Nobody looks at GPA, or cares, or even expects it to be there, unless you have never had a job and have nothing else to put on your resume.

As someone who has interviewed many developers, GPA has never, ever even come up as a topic.
