A bit OT, but I'm wondering how any fresh grad is supposed to pass today's hiring bar.
And, with the market flooded with experienced devs, why should any employer take a chance on a 100% green dev, when they can pick and choose from among 5+ YoE SWEs, who are desperate for jobs? As Shawn's post from yesterday showed, many of us are willing to work at much lower salaries, so even financially, it does not make sense to hire a fresher.
Anyone care to engage with this topic?

- disqard 1y agoHmmm, what if there's enough competition that experienced people are willing to work at the same entry-level wages as fresh college grads?
