completely wrong.

IBM dont hire fresh grads because most of them are hot garbage and the ones that are talented and good wont even go to a company like IBM when they can go FAANG.

you're using some weird ancdeotal evidence like "starting family" and some baseless info from tiktoks saying 996 lol, you seem like the typical moron who falls for ******** influencer nonsense.

here are some facts

shopee mass hires NTU / NUS kids, on their career portal, there's a specific JD that provides at least 100+ vacancies. every quarter they send some representative to also head-hunt CS NTU and NUS kids.

it only make sense that they would go to shopee since they are more open to hiring.

Everything you wrote supports the reasons that OP listed as to why fresh grads tend to go to places like Shopee. Apart from the unwarranted besmirching of "most" fresh grads as "hot garbage", which says more about you than anything.

Who is the moron here I wonder?

there are actually young people who are strivers and want to chiong as much as they can in their 20s. rightly or wrongly. but it's still their life their choice.
