Maybe not in US cities. But I’m not talking about the US, I’m not even talking about cities. More like towns with heavily distorted markets thanks to expat parasites.
Parasites. Are those the ones that bring in a bunch of resources and give them to the host?

I’ve never had problem finding a WFH gig. The last five jobs I’ve had since 2011 have been at least partially WFH. And I’m a very schmoey Joe
I suppose it depends on th discipline.

No. I wish that were the case though, then I wouldn’t have any reason to dislike them. But being that It isn’t the case, I’ll continue my campaign of hostility against gringos.

Technically a good burrito though.

Wait what? Who is making $165k out of college?
I don't even make $165k after working for... I don't know let's say 12 or 15 I can't keep track what counts anymore
I don't make quite that after 8 years of doing this stuff. That being said, I dropped out of college twice. Maybe $100k of debt is what I need to close that $25k difference lol

My first tech job out of college was $55k.
Average in my area for new grads at best is like $85k.
My highest paying was $195k as a Senior and my average is probably $150k as a Senior / Lead.
None of this was big tech though.

Did she have a portfolio that went beyond school work? Coders are like artists you need a portfolio showing you can do shit without being told to.
Hard disagree. Every company across the spectrum I've worked for couldn't care less about a portfolio.

I'm guessing companies aren't hiring fully remote new grads. And to be honest, I think that would be really tough as an employee, because it can be so hard to learn from coworkers while remote. Getting started on a new remote team is rough enough as it is

$165,000 tech jobs are still out there. Usually they require at least 10 years experience, or a masters in mathematics or data science.
Fresh out of school? Try a $48-64k job and get some experience.
On top of this, the AI jobs are paying some flat-out ridiculous rates.
Like, millions of dollars up-front in signing bonuses kind of ridiculous
