Junior Developer Jobs Are Already Gone, We Just Haven't Admitted It Yet
Go look at job boards. Filter for junior or entry-level developer positions. Notice anything? There are barely any. And the ones that exist have requirements that would have been mid-level a few years ago. Two years of experience for an entry-level role. A portfolio of shipped projects. Knowledge of seventeen different technologies. The junior developer job, as a category, is disappearing. We have not admitted this yet. Bootcamps are still selling the dream. Universities are still churning out CS graduates. Everyone talks about the skills shortage.
