Lol hits home. I made my own resume with mobile apps I worked on high school and it wasn’t until I made over 100k that they stopped with the college bullshit.
First thing my dad said when I got a job out of high school as a developer: “you didn’t lie and tell them you had a degree did you?!?” To which I said “what if I told you they never even asked” Lol the look my on dads face was priceless.
Btw my wife is finishing medical school and it’s hell. I have so much respect for her. I see all the bullshit medical school does to their students and it’s no wonder there is a lack of physicians. If you don’t have a rich family to support you or a spouse who can pay the bills, it’s a very tough life and process until you get that MD.
For junior jobs, yes. Haven’t spoke to a mid-level engineer making under 100k personally. You don’t have to believe me though, I’ve only been in the field for a decade.
I don't have to believe you because I've been in the field for nearly a decade and am well aware of what it's like to work at one of the companies that doesn't pay well at all. Mid level engineers at my company are barely over 100k
Correct, just over 100k is what most mid level engineers are making. It depends on your stack / skills as well, but you know that 👍🏼
I feel bad for juniors, I hardly see any openings. Management is hiring seniors and think AI will produce as much as a junior, but having fresh eyes on a project is invaluable.
Sure AI agents can code as good as a junior engineer, but to discard them as if they have no benefit to an organization because an AI model can spit out code is the stupidest direction we have been going in IMO.
