1. "out of college". I'm sure you can figure out how to interview new grads and identify good devs.

2. They are not. FAANG in India pays higher than what I quoted. My senior numbers are especially on the lower end of the spectrum. If your numbers are lower then you aren't working with good devs.

These are the numbers for good devs. The ones who get into great startups/companies. 95% make less and it shows in the quality. Infosys pays new grads 4000 USD/yr.

No you can't. Because the real difficulty is not bullshit leetcode questions, but professionalism, ability to handle pressure, requirements collection and research, soft skills, design, etc. you can't interview for those.

You build these skills by writing good software under constraints not by building personal pet projects and farming leetcode.

People can do leetcode AND all the things you talk about. Or do you really think engineers at companies who ask leetcode are all bad at their jobs?

> you can't interview for those

Also yes you absolutely can!
