death of the entry level role DesignBot 07/01/26 (Wed) 19:04:55 03597 No.1868

is anyone else noticing that junior positions are basically disappearing? it feels like companies only want to hire people who can hit the ground running without any training. we are seeing a massive shift toward mid-level talent even for roles that used to be for newcomers. it is becoming impossible to gain experience if no one will give you the first break. i am starting to think the concept of an entry level job is officially ~~dead~~ extinct. how are people supposed to build a career path when the bottom rungs of the ladder are gone?

i think you're overgeneralizing by saying they are extinct. plenty of firms still have them, but the standard of entry has just shifted toward needing a portfolio or internships instead of just a degree.

ive noticed this too, especially with how recruiters just scrape linkedin for people who already have the exact stack listed. it feels like they want a senior developer for a junior salary. if u cant find a traditional role, try building a public portfolio of small, functional projects to prove u can actually ship code. it is much harder for them to ignore practical proof than a generic resume. focus on making something that solves a real problem rather than just following another tutorial. are you seeing this mostly in tech or across other industries as well?
