Zd,
I have been working several years and I have interviewed many, many individuals for positions at a professional services organization. I would not have been able to tell that you have a degree from an advanced institution.
I will tell you that I have noted marked difference between the individuals who have learned in yeshiva and kollel before pursuing their training and those who have not.
For the most part they are much quicker at picking up and applying concepts and regulations. They also understand what they are doing rather than just doing their job by rote. They also have the skills to present their positions coherently on a more consistent basis than those who have not spent time learning in depth in yeshivah.
They also have the “zitz Fleish” to work long and hard at complex tasks.
These, for a large part, are individuals who obtained their degrees after learning for a number of years.
I know this is anecdotal , however It is not based only on one or two individuals but rather a substantial number of hires over several years.
