As the title says. I have been working as a software engineer for almost a year now. I really want to try for Netflix. Their website only listed Senior dev positions. When do they start the process for junior devs?

To give one example, there’s barely any expectation for mentorship. You are expected to ramp up and hit the road running by yourself. You’re expected to drive projects with little to no supervision. You’re expected to be assigned a project and be the only one of your team.
Some Sr. Eng thrive, some fail and are let go. I really don’t see a jr. eng thriving. Just being real from someone that has been there.
If you want more context, read Reed Hastings famous slide deck. It terrifies most people, yet excites a smaller population. That’ll tell you why they don’t hire junior developers. Your best approach is to slowly improve your skills and gain experience, or really take strides to showcase your abilities.
