When companies give job offers to kids that are still in school it means that that company has a hard time to keep their very own people. These companies wasted so much good talent that ran from the company that the only way left is getting school kids that know no better.
When, I was in schools I saw many students get hired and stopped their education because why not, I already have work? Then one year later they get fired and there they are, no job no diploma.
I've seen this as well. Their code is so terrible, their management so lousy, that any experienced person will just leave. After the first week they're already looking for a new job. High turnover and loads of juniors is a big red flag.
I was offered a full time position in Germany as a web developer, $50,000 a year as soon as I finished high school. I was offered a summer internship at Venmo( a PayPal company ) as an iOS developer. And most recently I was offered a summer internship at BuzzFeed as an iOS developer.
Seriously? Only one of those is a job offer, two of them are internships (and one at Buzzfeed, the place that just missed it's revenues by $80 million? Probably dodge a bullet there), and the monetary offer, while good for someone right out of high school, is not really all that great for NYC. Not trying to down on the kid, but I get more and better job offers than that.
