Questions about applying for positions while I'm still an Undergraduate

[QUOTE="PhotonSSBM, post: 6072685, member: 563233"] I've been working for a company I helped start for the last 10 months. In that time I've built quite a powerful product, which has attracted recruiters on Linkedin to offer me their time. Some of them have been exceptionally tantalizing. Right now, my company is finding it's way to being able to sell our product, and finally start paying ourselves. In the meantime, I am in school part time as a non traditional student (29 yo), and my degree in Physics is a year away from completion (part time). I am on welfare and working as a tutor part time to pay the bills. I started school 5 years ago, and have a number of skills I"m able to market that I've learned in just the last 2 years as an RA and software developer. I have virtually no credentials course-wise for CS, but I am very good at what I do, and have a very sophisticated program under my belt. The product I've developed is nearing its final form. And once it's done, my involvement with the company is expected to decrease enormously until it takes off. Even then, we'll be looking to bring in talented engineers to do most of the heavy lifting when we become equitable enough to do so. I will be applying for other positions in the next week by reaching out to the recruiters who've reached out to me in the past. They will be for Mobile Development engineering positions. This will be the first time I've ever done something like this. I'm quite tired of barely making ends meet from month to month. I'm making my resume clean and sophisticated and I'm prepping for material I can be tested on in interviews, which I'm sure I can do well in. I would like to know some signals that an opportunity is one I should avoid, and what kind of material I can be expected to be tested on, besides Algorithms and Data Structures. Any other interviewing/job searching advice is appreciated. Also, in the event that my Linkedin connections don't work out, what would be a good resource to explore other opportunities? Finally, will employers be concerned that I have no degree and will be starting these positions while I'm still in school for another year? The positions I've been pitched before are not internships. Thanks ahead of time for any help. [/QUOTE]
