> it’s becoming frustrating to watch people get six-figure jobs right out college doing remote coding work from the comfort of their homes with ample mentoring, only to complain because Reddit and Blind led them to believe they’d be earning $300K at FAANG jobs while working 20 hours per week
How many people are actually doing this? These people are a vocal minority. Do not fall into the "millennials are entitled" trap because a few spoiled knuckleheads posted some stupid stuff on Reddit.
Look at what's actually happening in the economy and you'll see that the expectations are not any higher than they were for older generations going back at least a few decades, but that there's a growing divide between the millennials who are doing well and those who are not. As one of those who is doing pretty well, I am incensed on behalf of my friends and peers who are doing less well through no fault of their own.
