Why do companies choose fresh grads over years of proven experience? I’ve noticed a trend lately where highly qualified candidates with years of experience get passed over, while recent graduates are snapped up quickly. From a hiring manager's perspective, what drives this decision? Is it strictly budget, or is there more to the strategy? I'd love to hear honest insights from both sides.

Are they hiring the fresh grads for jobs that require years of experience or for entry level positions?

Hi,
I'm currently having an offer from BlueOptima and Cohesity and am conflicted between the two.
I have offers in the SDET profile.
Cohesity Inc is providing me MTS and @BlueOptima is providing SDET-1.

Glassdoor reviews more of less place the two companies almost equally, and the package being offered by the two is almost in the same range.
My preferences include:
Learning opportunities in the role.
Company's work environment.
Company's growth prospects, are also a consideration.
YOE: 2 years

Considering a Product Owner role. Any best practices of what questions to ask during an interview? First phase deals with a virtual Teams interview with the recruiter and her manager on Tuesday. Excited since this is a hop from a Product Analyst role and entails an offer of over $30,000 from what I'm getting now! This would be a permanent full-time compared to my current contractor role that ends in March.
