Have a CS degree from abroad. Do employers here care, or is experience enough?

For most tech roles, a foreign degree plus demonstrable skills is fine — employers hire on portfolio and interviews. An ECA helps for immigration and some employers, but it is rarely a hard blocker for engineering jobs.
