As a hiring manager, I know these roles are mostly non-technical, but right now hiring junior devs fresh out of college is easier than it has been in ~8 years.

It seems like the kids with no skills being offered ~200k to sit around and learn are no longer being offered positions. This year we have postgrads applying for internship positions (paid), and our incredible intern from 2 years ago who went to Apple is taking a job with us soon.

I can see that. At my medium-sized company the management is taking the position of mostly hiring senior people right now, because we don't have many openings and they feel like they can be picky. I know my company isn't the only one with this mindset. That leaves a lot of arbitrage for people willing to bet on junior staff.
