>Now the idea that anyone would care about my university grades seems laughable.
Sadly, this current batch of graducates can't grab anything even with decent schools and grades. Some are putting a huge emphasis only on Tier 1 schools. Crazy how quickly everything changed.
There is a hiring problem for graduates absolutely, and there is no silver bullet. I will say that from my understanding and experience though having project experience (even personal projects) is still more important than grades at 90% of tech jobs. It doesn’t make it easy, just less hard though of course.
