How does that work with new grads?

cthalupa Jan 11, 2017 View on HN

What alternative is there for new grads?

baq Nov 10, 2025 View on HN

‘Nobody hires juniors’ is a possibility, too

New grads will work for less and less compensation?

Not all new grads are the same.

Hard point to make when people explicitly advertise for recent college graduates.

Maybe don't hire new grads if you need experience for the position.

Training in CS is giving some new-grad a job, instead of not. Plenty of companies hire senior-only.

There’s a huge difference between “a bad job market for new grads“ and “none of you will have jobs next year“

it can also be a sign of company looking for graduates to hire for cheap, so they're looking for inexperienced only.
