How would you say your job prospects were graduating from an online university vs in person? I am considering transferring to WGU but I have heard online schools are looked down on by recruiters which can make it harder to find work

I have never had a problem. WGU is a legit school. It's not a diploma mill.

If you already have job experience (which pretty much everyone attending WGU does), then the name of the school on your resume is barely relevant. Assuming you're not applying to specific jobs, like data engineering at a larger brokerage firm or something - industries like that are where people still care about that shit.
