- Low pay for juniors - Previous experience not valued - Value calculated on a standard set that doesn't include all work done as a developer - If your skillset is different than a typical full-stack (knows backend, knows decent front end, knows some design), your compensation is unlikely to be as high. - Entering the craftsmanship academy if you have already developed or gone to Comp Sci is 75% stuff you know, 25% you don't.
