I don't understand some job ads. The companies want developers with 3+ years of experience in everything for entry level positions.

Aren't there any entry level positions for entry level developers with less experience?

If this is the norm, how do junior devs get the experience they need to be qualified for these "entry level" positions?

Internship I guess... For the record I don't find it good nor bad

These are postby recruit conpanies that have no idea. I once saw a post that requires 3+ years in Angular 2/4. I was like, WTF. Maybe this guy meant AngularJS 1. But still they don’t know what they are requiring.

I try to recruit people without looking at qualifications, and instead their projects and feedback on tests/talking to them. The problem is uni doesn't teach programming correctly, at all - even the theory (i left, now lead dev at 23, trying my best to spread this truth).
The solution is: get expeirance on projects at/before uni. I advise getting a job that pays the bills and going indie dev for at least a year.
Good luck!

@Ju5tJ3N that's great advice. I've been trying a similar approach but I think there is room to improve it. Thanks

@MrJDev I'm way past university and getting into web development as a third career. Still, this is good advice, thanks.

@wiredgecko ah nice one, that infom is almost a nervous reaction by now. I'm mostly backend ao perhaps it applies differently, althougu good java code does interest me.

@MrJDev I think there is something to it though. Doing indie dev work while working in a day job is certainly one way to fill the experience gap.

Attitude. You get the job based on attitude, at better places. The ability to learn is implied by your stated profession, the requirements are there to filter out people who don't even want to try, because that's an implication of their attitude.
