In my experience hiring for jr webdev and full stack roles, about 1 in 5 people could pass fizzbuzz (even when the mathematical algorithm was explained in writing). About 1 in 100 completed the basic web app demo (untimed, take home, expected to take between 30 minutes and 2 hours, in any language, with a test suite included as a shell script). I often hired the first person even remotely qualified with the intent on teaching the gap because hiring took so long. This was in Chicago from about 2011 to 2018.
- whimsicalism 6y agoWell how much were you all paying?
- dudul 6y agoWhat does it have to do with the quality of the candidates? Salaries are often not discussed before the end of the process, especially for junior roles where applicants can rarely force the hiring manager/recruiter to disclose a budget.

- TheCoelacanth 6y agoEven entry-level candidates have some idea of what jobs pay. Some recruiters are more circumspect, but a lot of them will give a salary range if you ask. That information can also be found on places like Glassdoor or by talking to acquaintances about the offers they got or getting second-hand accounts of offers that people got. That information can be pretty inaccurate, but people still make decisions based on it.
