The only one that does is for an entry level position that undervalues your salary by $20k.
But hey! At least we get to start paying for our loans again, and in a time where market prices for products have gone up 25-50%! I didn't want to be a homeowner, have children, or worry about managing a savings account anyway! I'm proud that I'll be working well into my 70s with no hope of retirement in sight! That just means I get to contribute more! So glad our overlords decided I should be a productive member of society instead of some freeloader weighing down the system!
I'm not trying to justify companies underpaying entry devs and the pay sucks, I get it. It's not a good situation. I do think you can make the most out of the situation by getting a shit paying job to get your foot in the door. Work like a year and then hop to a better job now that you have some experience on your resume.
