I mean it seems like they were actually getting the midlevel roles so why would they lol. Maybe that's different now that the market is bad

I have commented on this extensively but the level and title of your first job are irrelevant compared to the company, team, and product. Your career trajectory will be far faster and better being a $100K apprentice at Airbnb over a $130K "mid level" engineer at a 30 person agency where you are the only front end engineer assigned to a project.
I don't know why there is such an emphasis on them, if they have truly gone all in on this since the beginning. I don't think their leadership has a lot of top tier experience and maybe they are trying to appeal to the masses and people looking for an average job over a top tier job, but the marketing and tone of their outcomes commentary says otherwise.
