“Entry level” now just means entry level pay, not entry level experience. It is a total scam.

This like the human resources version of “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” and everyone’s hungry.

I feel your struggle, been unemployed for a while as well until I tried it this way:
1: get job somewhat below your skill level at company with plenty of promotion opportunities and a great employer wellbeing culture.
2: ace your job
3: in one-on-ones with your manager mention that you not feel challenged by your job and would love to grow
This is how I quickly managed to get a bunch of promotions. Within a year I was much higher up the ladder than I was initially aiming for. And if you happen to want to change jobs at this moment you could simply lie on your resume that you did the high job for the entire year, no one’s gonna find out.
First months you might earn a bit less than you were aiming for but that will pay itself back in the long run

You need to know about catch-22 before I’ll let you know about catch-22.

Not out here to defend the companies too much, but the job market has changed.
There are student opportunities that allow you get some experience in some area before hitting the market. I agree there are not that many, especially in the best fields, and some companies really do ask for 3 years experience. I think that again comes down to the company making a fun ideal wishlist. They know candidates won’t fit the whole bill.
These days however, at least on my country, companies will receive hundreds of applications on the first day. Possibly written and submitted by bots/AI applying everywhere, and also some people that are genuinely looking for jobs in a saturated market.
The other thing is that people don’t stick with their companies anymore. If everyone uses all companies as stepping stones, then the training they give just goes to waste. So they want people to come in that they don’t have to train because they’re just going to leave after.

Can’t have a team full of juniors, can’t have a team full of seniors. Needs to be balanced, sometimes a position is open to juniors, sometimes to seniors.

Tbf it’s more profitable for them to turn you down, say there aren’t any qualified candidates and then import H1Bs and pay them peanuts.
