The market for less experienced software engineers is worse now than in 2021. Bootcamps and universities are graduating new entrants to the market, but companies are still more likely to hire experienced engineers.
Prospects are harder for entry-level software engineers who lack pedigree, that is, did not graduate from a well-known school, have not done an internship at a well-known tech company, or do not have a strong network that can refer individuals to entry-level positions at the company where they work.
