For entry-level jobs yes. Its because that is the only fact that the HR can check. The rest you can bs in interview.

For managerial level jobs, grade matters less as HR got more info to draw from such as your working experience and track record. How you sell yourself in interview is more important.

For senior management level, grade becomes insignificant as Headhunters will look for you based on your track record/ referrals/ endorsements/ awards. Some take up a professional qualification or two to bolster their core skills.

For board of director/ CEO level, grade is negligible as most that reached this position can easily apply for Executive education or EMBA from ivy leagues. They can easily pay and the course normally runs for 1 year or lesser. Education part settled.

This is summarised nicely btw. But if you wanna know, i got a mediocre second class grade in my uni but what matters is the experience you have that complements your in-campus learning experience. So grade is not the only assessment criteria. This is only applicable to MNC, overseas firms though, local firms may place heavier emphasis on your grades in comparison
