I have a question: what are the main GPA thresholds for getting a job?

I know there are some companies with 3.5-3.6 requirements, I know there are some with 3.0... Are there any other important thresholds?
 
There's no such thing as a threshold imo. Perhaps if you apply online there is a most likely a sorting algorithm based off of prestige of university/GPA/hierarchy of majors to toss out applicants early but I'm not sure that kind of info can be divulged. You can almost be sure that a company has different criteria than what appears online though.

More important than any of this is true ability. I have been given opportunities to interview far before anyone has known my GPA and once you have an interview you have a shot. There's no such thing as a GPA cutoff to get a job.

Well, what I like to know is if there is difference between e.g. 3.03 and 3.15?
