CS is hiring, but just not like it used to, and today, you need to know how to incorporate AI into your work.

What CS internships are giving signing bonuses? I haven’t heard of that in 2 decades.

DD graduated in 2024. Had sign on bonuses for CS internships sophomore and junior summers. Two different places..one tech and one finance. Very typical for her classmates.

I don't believe you. What was the company?
You have one daughter, and I don't believe that you are talking to her friends about finances often. This seems completely fabricated, and I don't know why someone would make this up.

OK...whatever you want to believe. One was a FAANG and the other a major bank. No I did not talk to her friends about their internships, but she did so I heard the comparisons.

Say the company.

FAANG do not offer signing bonuses for internships. This is a lie, and a pretty bad one that even someone completely uninitiated with tech could sniff out.

I do not think you need that info and do not want to have anyone recognize the pair of internships combined with graduation year. Besides you have already decided I was lying.

This is a lie. The company would be large enough to where you could throw out the name. You're getting defensive, because you can't actually present any real evidence or truth, because you lied. No one even knows where your kid goes to college. This feigned paranoia isn't gonna get you out of the obvious that you lied. Reported.

Checked with DD, it was apparently called a housing allowance not a sign on bonus - my mistake. It was a big chunk of $$ at the beginning of the summer.

This is not OP's question. We don't want to hear about you, your child, or their friends.

It is, in fact, precisely OP's question: "Are there any majors that are doing particularly well right now? What are they?" and the subject line "Majors doing well in findings [sic] jobs"

Let me give a dose of reality for what is happening in the job market with the AI revolution. I work in hiring in a fintech...50% of our organization is engineers. Across the past 12 months, 90% of our coding has been moved exclusively to AI. We are no longer hiring ANY engineering entry level CS--or entry level anything (sales, legal etc). The next 24 months will be brutal as companies reset/pivot how work gets done in an agentic workforce.

The good news for college grads is what is very much needed is critical thinkers with strong judgement who can oversee the work produced by AI agents (kind of like a virtual manager) and who can innovate and build the next gen of AI agents and workflows. Colleges that invest in leaning into AI vs. keeping it out of the learning environment will have grads who will be in high demand.

Data science majors are attractive (have the judgement and analytical chops to leverage AI effectively).

It’s great because it’ll take 1 vibecoded bug and these companies will all realize their issue with giving up on having dedicated computational workers around.

Best written satire I have read this week.
