Comment on Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle.

Boomer out of touch take.
Damn. That’d be crazy if anyone was actually hiring anybody with no experience.
I know multiple group chats of people who graduated fresh from college, not even 20% of them have jobs a year after grad. And this is spread across comp sci, cybersecurity, and mech eng.
The entry level job is dead. Every company thinks they can replace the menial shit that entry level workers do to learn with AI slop.

counterpoint: I work in tech for a Fortune 500 and we still have interns and still hire intern classes and kids right out of college.
We are working with AI but we aren’t stupid, we still need people.
Not in Silicon Valley.

Exact same thing here.
If you ignore any company related to “cloud” or “AI”, especially if you focus on tech jobs at companies outside the software industry, there’s still plenty of hiring fresh coders going on.

lol... I don't think you're right at all.
Everybody overhired coders in 2020-2021, and everybody has been shedding them since.... along with tons of other roles.
Sure, they are always hiring and there's always exceptions. If the job is 60k and you have 3000 applicants and 300 of them have over 3 years of experience... how can a 0 YOE possibly compete?

We have a pretty forward thinking AI offering of our own, but … it’s not being vibe coded, we have very educated AI engineers
