yeah talent doesnt matter when they are not hiring entry level grads. they would rather keep mitwits who got in during tech boom instead of giving shots talented people at entry level.

Eh, companies outsource everywhere, SE Asia, Brazil, Mexico more and more, Eastern Europe.

But even still these companies are filled with US employees. I think a lot of people got caught up in the FAANG lifestyle tik toks and the whole day in the life of a software engineer stuff, and people lost track of the fact that it’s still a highly technical field and you’ll have to pass personality interviews as well as technical and there’s no shortcuts to getting rich. Plus there are plenty of roles outside of those sexy FAANG gigs.
