Hm interesting. In university the grades are totally different but also not super important? In terms of after university, when you go for a job, you either have done the course/degree or you haven't lol, people don't really talk about what grades you got. Maybe if you were a genius getting HDs (high distinctions) in everything you do lol but yeah I've never heard people talk about their actual grades post-university. Do you share your grades/score with your potential employers over there?

> also not super important? they may not be super important for some useless school that is basically just a diploma mill, but they are important if you are in good school with goal of getting good education, because they will affect your further progress through the system. like going from bachelor to masters level (which i think is not always the case in us) or getting your phd position.

People who did well usually put their grade point average (GPA) on their resume. I was a hiring manager for some decades, and I didn't tend to hire people who had less than a 3.2 from a decent school. Generally when people didn't put their GPA it meant they didn't get 2.5 or better. But I was hiring for a specialty, and for a lot of jobs they really just want you to have the degree.
