I mean, call it what you will, but a lot of these people are getting offers, man. Good ones. Which is more than I can say for myself with my comp sci degree and two years experience. Although my location is likely to blame for that.

More than I can say for my BS CS plus 17 years. As I have had 7 different jobs for 12 different employers (due to mergers/acquisitions, by the most generous count), and have needed to run the entire interview gauntlet all 7 times, my primary career goal is no longer to earn more money. It is to never have to do another effing software-industry interview, ever again. But damn. For $120k/year, in the region where I now live, I might just put Expo2 to whiteboard one more time. I get tired of justifying my own existence to people who are only pretending to care that I am not actually a human-form automaton to crank out code. In short, the software-industry interview has always been stupid, but it has also become increasingly arrogant and rude. Is it really worth it to put up with the crap-on-you parade for a few more measly dollars in the paycheck?

  >"my primary career goal is no longer to earn more money. It is to never have to do another effing software-industry interview, ever again.: I feel exactly the same way, even though the existence of those interviews is probably the main reason I was able to get into kinds of companies I did.
