Is there any point in aiming for a high GPA when employers value normie behavior and experience the most? And is it important for internships?

Sometimes it can help when you have little to no experience. Once you get at least 2 years it means fuck all. If your gpa is 3 or below don't even bother putting it on your resume.

It's the Gpa that can get you through the door, it's the interview that lands you the job. I always personally thought that if you get called for the interview, you are qualified for the tasks in hand. It's the interview to see if you are a normie. And you can't exactly put that on a resume

So yes, strive for a high gpa.

Im an accountant, but GPA's seem to play a role in landing an internship. Which in turn lands you your first job.

I never did an internship had a 3.0 gpa, but I worked as an accountant for my dads company couple years after graduating. After that it was a joke to find a better job. I was hired 4 weeks or so after i started looking. I interviewed at small and medium size companies in person. Not once was I asked for my gPA in any stage of the interview process.

Yes, it gets you interviews easier. It doesn't guarantee a better job or success. You might be able to work for more competitive companies as well. It basically means easier time getting interviews and maybe make you slightly more eligible for "fast track" positions in big companies

But also note that I got like 10x more follow-ups for interviews when I started compared to my friends when I started applying for my first job

>yfw you realize the sole purpose of an interview is to make sure you're a big enough normie that they can effectively work you like a piece of machinery
>"soft skills" "working with others" "a good fit for the company" are literally just codespeak for "normie we can leverage"
>>
Are you actually surprised that employers value people who can interact and get along with other people over who has the highest GPA?

Oh God, have we stooped so low that now we're blaming normies for your professional failures as well as your personal ones?
