How fresh grads with zero experience get hired as senior engineers

It is highly likely that the former vice president of a startup is actually from one of those two small corners of the US (given that these also seem to be hot startup scenes), so it isn't a weird assumption for senior roles (not new grad ones). It isn't mentioned if she is a SWE or not, however, which would make a huge difference.

I don't know, I think saying that it's "typical" to be paid 250k as a graduate is pretty damn weird.

Yes, but unfortunately it is sounding less and less ridiculous as inflation picks up.

Perhaps the thinking is: if you keep saying it, it may become true.
