> why pay for 2 juniors, when you can get a senior for 1.5 price
That's how it used to be. Now it's more like, "pull the job posting altogether and make your existing seniors work harder because they know they don't have options."
I've had multiple positions that I applied/interviewed for get pulled, and at least two of my friends said the same is happening at their employers -- in one case a team of 5 is now a team of 2, running a critical service for an airline. :yikes:
So, I agree that it sucks for new grads, and it's maybe worse than you think.
