[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My employer has an open position in software engineering, and we received over 5,000 applications. More than 500 applicants graduated from UVA, Virginia Tech, UMD, CMU, UNC, Duke, UCLA, USC, Yale, and other top universities. We narrowed the pool down to eight candidates for in-person interviews, and all eight are qualified to do the job, but we have to select just one. Of those eight candidates, four have been looking for work since graduating in January 2025, and the other four have been searching since graduating in May 2025. One candidate from Yale told me that getting an engineering job these days is much harder than getting admitted to Yale. I feel so bad for them. [/quote] Have they looked for work at defense contractors, companies are ramping up fo Golden Dome? Pay won’t be big tech money though. [/quote] This. We’re hiring a lot of engineers. [/quote]
