We hire dozens of entry level roles per year. That's our bar (of course, coupled with "is authorized to work where the role is").
I think discussions around "entry level" jobs are often muddied by the dual meanings of the term.
Companies want to hire experienced people as "entry level" to their company. As in, the position we are hiring you for does not have any kind of seniority.
Fresh Grads want to find an "entry level" position to the entire industry.
This confusion is part of why you see "entry level" job postings asking for years of experience, essentially asking for an intermediate skill level, not a junior skill level.
Many, many more than "top 10 highest-paying." But yes, generally for six figure entry level roles.
But to the point of your question, no. It’s Boston-area typical entry-level SWE, whether self-taught, boot-camp, or college grad. We’re not even top-15 CS program competitive at that rate.
