> Employers are mostly recruiting senior levels it seems.
Because no one is going to hire a junior developer to work remote. The job market isn't especially hot, it's just temporarily distorted in a way that favors more experienced developers.
Not sure sure this "distortion" is temporary though. There's going to continue to be a shortage of more senior engineers for years to come because of their relative scarcity. Fact is... if you're senior/staff/principal now assuming you stay competitive you're in luck.
Eh, even as someone with 1.8 years experience (at least I still feel very junior) I get a steady flood of recruiters and can easily get a pile of interviews.
I think it’s that if you have zero experience, you are a huge unknown. Anything more and work abounds.
