- Likely everyone was a junior straight out of school at one point.
I don't disagree with needing junior programmers but you have better odds making $145,849 in a year with your own startup than you do being in a competition with 2,220 applicants for ONE job.
Started mine a few years ago and it is turning $2M ARR with NO funding or VCs.
- Not everyone wants to or has the intestinal fortitude to start their own business. Most people just want to do the job that excites them, not have a job running a business. Also, not everyone gets into the industry in order to maximize their income.
There will always be junior (and senior, for that matter, but this is about juniors) devs wanting to get hired. The industry would be stupid to avoid hiring them.
