Does your freshman CS major have an internship lined up?

From what I’ve seen, you are either or you’re not passionate about coding and most likely is self taught. All you have to do is apply to different companies, they will then require a test. If you do well, they’ll most likely give you a job. No college degree required.

What is wrong with you that you would actually spend time researching this??? Pathetic.

Wait, they don’t get PLACED into a Coop? I didn’t realize they are on their own to apply? I thought Coops were curated experiences that were handed out from dozens / hundreds of corporate or organizational relationships. Wow…..

My kid is a CS student there so I follow the subreddit. What’s wrong with you?

Your reading comprehension is...less than stellar. The NEU kids are getting offers, sure they have a lot of no's, but if you can't figure that out, I guess your NEU hate makes your brain fuzzy.

Yea, I wonder what happens if kids don't find one?

I don't think this is cyclical - tools like co-pilot etc make coders more efficient, so there will be less need going forward. There will always be need for human supervision, at least for the foreseeable future, but I would guess the tech companies will continue to lay off/allow attrition to correct the workforce, protect earnings for shareholders and compete with the other tech companies. Bottom line will be less opportunities for less experienced kids, including job offers.

Software development for applications is more vulnerable to AI evolution. There also is a greater supply of application-layer software developers than for lower-layers. Software development for operating systems/kernel code, for networking protocols, and for embedded systems is not terribly vulnerable to AI evolution and is always in shortage.

Agree. This comes off as stalkerish. Additionally, I don't tend to rely the slightest bit on any anonymous board, because we see what happens here.

OP, get on SM parent boards of your DC's school. You will have to prove that your DC attends, and in most cases, will have access to whomever else is on those SM boards. It is transparent, you will know precisely whom you are dealing with (although it is often known who is disgruntled on anon boards), and you will get much better information on non anonymous boards. You don't know who is disgruntled about what on the anonymous boards. The best students tend to get the best jobs. How are your DC's grades?

To add, the CS field is saturated at the moment, and many CS students are having difficulty. Has your DC talked to their professors? Your DC needs to do the legwork, you can not find them a job if you are not in the field.

One more thing: do you know anyone well connected in the field, who could help you? Are you on good terms with someone connected? You might have to network yourself and be mindful not to burn any bridges.

Fwiw, my now second year (at a top CS school) and all of his CS friends had internships lined up after freshman year. It certainly isn't a must, but according to him, most of the CS students had solid internships after their first years.

I don’t know if it would help but what about working at a coding camp over the summer? TIC is typically looking for CS students as counselors. Might look better on resume than just retail. Of course has to have patience for kids though.
