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).

Best written satire I have read this week.

NP. Honest question: why? The post didn't seem that far-fetched.

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.

Weird that FAANG is giving signing bonuses to interns when all the FAANG companies are downsizing and terminating their workforce. I am not saying you're lying PP, I don't know you, I am simply saying this sounds odd under the current circumstances of FAANG's current hiring/firing policies.

Our rising Senior BSN/RN candidate is hoping the trend holds for at least one more year. Plans are indeed for NP or CRNA after the required 2 years post-undergrad.

I've heard Human Studies and Philosophy majors from Top 10's are absolutely crushing in the job market right now. Believe me because I said it on an anonymous message board. lol

That person graduated 2 years ago so internships would have been in 22 and 23...before all this.

An internship isn’t a post grad job.

Nursing, it pays well and is one of the more AI proof professions.

Additionally any major that chooses to go the law enforcement route. Every entity is hiring and most offer hiring bonuses and good pay in the DC, MD, VA area.

Correct, but they are hoping one of the internships turns into a post grad job. The point is that there are companies hiring CS grads, just not like the way they used to.

Also, the companies aren't FAANGS. I was also floored that they offered a signing bonus. Never heard of companies doing that for interns, but there you go. And I used to work for a FAANG during the haydays.
