Well here (HN "Who is Hiring?" post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21422735 from last week) but entry-level doesn't mean clueless. We've had interns show up with personal hobby experience doing CPU emulators and 0-day exploits.

We need a thread like this. It’s very hard to suss out what the industry definition of a “junior” engineer is.

Especially when mid level postings will interview juniors and even let them make it to an on-site (at the chance of a cheaper hire compared to a more experienced candidate) and just pass them up for someone with more experience :(

Apply anyway with a detailed resume about your experiences on projects, even your own.

The worst that happens is they say no :)

I just want to tack on that most entry level positions these days seem to "require" one-two years experience. These are the jobs that, as an entry level dev, you should be applying for anyways. 1-2 years is idyllic

email me your resume to chech[dot]nyah[at]gmail[dot]com
