Employer and graduate school?

In your opinion (or maybe the experience of both the employee and the employer), how does the employer at the interview relate to the fact that the potential employee is studying full-time graduate school? Positive, negative? Do you think it is necessary to mention this in your resume?
Upd. Position - Developer.

Developer positions vary. Someone needs a stupid encoder for 8-10 hours a day - it won't work for them. And if you need a thinking developer-algorithmist, I think the graduate student will go with a bang.

What type of work is it?
If indicated in the resume, then there will be few invitations to an interview, but more honestly with respect to the employer.
If you do not specify, it will still pop up at the interview, there will be more refusals, more empty trips for you. But there is a greater chance that in a personal meeting, the employer will treat you differently and turn a blind eye to distractions.

Who exactly are you looking for a job? This affects the attitude of the employer. It is one thing for a technical support specialist who must be at the workplace from 9 to 18, another thing for a developer who, in principle, can work remotely, and a third for a project manager, who, in principle, works 25 hours a day during the implementation of the project.

I work in a reputable company, here it is even encouraged. But I didn’t write in my resume, I just said this at the interview. Since the specialty in graduate school intersects with work activities. He said that it would take very little working time, so the employer was extremely happy :)
It seems to me that it is worth indicating a graduate school only when it is related to work duties at least remotely + it will not take much time.

If the specialty in graduate school is related to work, then I think it’s definitely worth pointing out. This is only a plus for work (unless, of course, it takes a lot of time).

In any case, this will become known, before or during the interview. By the way, does full-time graduate school really take a lot of time?
