what do you mean? we're hiring new grads because we think they will make the company money. most of our hires are from top schools so they're already proven to be smart
replyright now most resumes are zero signal because any new grad can whip up an impressive sounding project using ai with zero paying users. but knowing what to build, having good product sense and taste, talking to customers, iterating and not giving up are much more desirable skills
youd be surprised how many new grads with capital and free time have zero business skills
There is a weird assumption nowadays that “making money = you’re an expert and know what you’re doing.” The best X is the one that makes the most cash, full stop.
replyVery scary for the future, unfortunately.
hmm i dont think any new grad is an expert and knows what they're doing (if im understanding you right)
replybut the skills we used to look for in new grads are shifting as coding agents make execution easy, a new grad with good business sense is really valuable
