    Try a $48-64k job and get some experience.

    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 just had an intern project showcase, some neat stuff.

      We are working with AI but we aren’t stupid, we still need people.

      Not in Silicon Valley.
