There is a legitimate reason for having a high hiring bar.

The “bar” is not representative at all of the nature of the work is why. It’s artificially high in order to eliminate a glut of candidates early in the process.

I remember when there was a genuine shortage of tech workers - the dotcom boom. Hiring and compensation reflected that there was high demand and competition to hire. Outside of a very few niches now, the economics (law of supply and demand) simply don’t show it.

Undergrads (not me though) can make $225k out of school now easily, is that not showing it?
