Student developers were polled via 80 spring 2016 hackathons to asses how they feel about their career options. Some of the key finding were:
- 83% of students said they were looking for fulfilling careers, rather than simply for jobs.
- Students plan to stay an average of 2.9 years at their first full-time job.
- Students predict that they'll stay at later jobs for 5 years on average.
- Students expect to earn between $70–150K right out of school.
Details of the Devpost study can be found here.

Don't forget that dentist offices are usually smaller outfits and the people hiring actually know what they are hiring for. For example, my employer is looking for someone with 5-10 years of experience with Docker. Not even the core devs have that!

What a bunch of fuckin retards. I don't know if funny is the appropriate mod :(
Thou I can say sometimes HR will ask me "What type of skills you are looking for" and I'll say things like "A little bit of knowledge in X,Y,Z, good knowledge of A and B" and I can almost see how they translate "little bit of knowledge" to "1-3 years of experience" because they don't know how to write anything else. And I can see how they translate "good knowledge of" to "5-10 years of experience in." They don't realize that if I wanted "5-10 years of experience" I would say to them "5-10 years of experience."
