8 years later and it's still correct. If there truly was such a demand companies would be on their knees for new grads, they would take on more junior engineers to learn from their current superior engineers. In software a degree doesn't even get you a call back in job applications.
- bojan 5y agoThis entire discussion seems to be very US-centric. In the Netherlands, the situation is exactly like you describe how it'd look like if the proposition in the title were correct. Possibly because Dutch companies simply refuse to increase salaries, and 60k per year is still somehow considered good.

- EvilEy3 5y agoIndeed! Reduce the salary even more, lmao.

- trutannus 5y agoMost definitely. I'm a Canadian who's never had a problem job hunting even as a junior. Reading this is like looking into an alternate reality.
