Anyone have insight?

For us it’s simply a cost cutting strategy…we can get two new grads for the price of one senior SWE.

It is indeed.

Some sort of tax break or funding..?

I’m not necessarily saying there’s a movement. All I’m trying to point out is that what if you’re at entry level but you’re not a new grad or you self learned and didn’t do the traditional CS a route

Who else would they consider for "Entry Level" roles?

It is fairly common for those with "non-traditional" backgrounds to struggle to get through the HR filters for jobs. I've been there and it sucks, but it ultimately falls to you to find a way around the problem.

I will also note that once you have a few years of experience very few people really care about your education.

Hi folks,
I recently completed my technical interview with epam anywhere and I got selected in that. Now HR told me that I have one more project interview round which is also technical. In my epam profile it's showing that it's an offer interview. My HR told for functional testing it's a project interview instead of offer interview. I really confused about this and why should I take another Technical round even after clearing 1.5 hrs technical round. Can anyone share details of it?
