That or he is applying for senior positions. I don’t know how many times I’ve talked to young/straight from college who think they’re senior level stuff.
Colleges don’t teach shit for real world positions anymore, and it gives some of these green ears this ego that they know how to do everything and want max pay. The IT field has tons of positions open, you just shouldn’t expect to start at the top with zero real world experience. Even if you have some certs to go with your degree.
