They want senior+ who are <35yo, but then when they interview the 35yo for a senior position, they give them an offer for a non-senior role so they can pay them less.

You mean to tell me that they don't wanna hire seniors in your area? Idk the market seems to be looking mainly for senior+.

#18Based in Australia, recent graduate, market for junior positions is pretty difficult even with industry experience.
So i heard. How are they gonna find seniors in the future if they don't invest in juniors now, i wonder.
