Gap is to much, even for entry level. The way to bridge gap is capability building.

Where people fail #

• Merely calling function and building simple UIs is not enough.
• Stuff like bundle size repaint, minimize, code-splitting, DNS matters. But get perceived as less, especially due to chronic work in low paying companies. High paying companies do care about this.

Working on the job #

• Learn fast: libs, frameworks change fast.
• Communicate and handle ambiguous problems: talking to product people etc.
• Solve non-easy problems: build a collaborative text editor (db schema, UI state, handle collisions), build a spell checker, build linux’s diff function.
