Unfortunately, Amazon and Google have laid off software engineers, engineering managers, product managers, and technical program managers (all of which would typically have a CS or computer engineering-related degree). It is still strong but the CS-related roles have clearly been affected in big tech too. There is also awesome non-US talent in the engineering fields that more and more companies have discovered, which is good for innovation overall but isn't necessarily amazing for US new grads looking for the highest paying engineering jobs.


Yes, these and other tech companies have robust operations in India and elsewhere. Every resume I have received from HR are from those who went to school outside this country. Mgmt is always pushing for offshore resources whenever they can.

US companies are hiring offshore for their IT when they can. Can't find US talent? No, offshore is still much cheaper.



Soon AI will be cheaper than all .
