[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister works in tech and the hiring is pretty tight these days. [/quote]

There is always a bull market somewhere in tech...right now it is Machine Learning Engineers and the AI folks if you have any skills.[/quote]

Know a recent grad in this sector, not happy, hoping to stick it out until vested, but that’s 5 years and what goes up can came down[/quote]

Sounds employed, though...yes?  I assume OP would be ecstatic for their kid to be complaining about their highly-paid ML job.[/quote]
DP. I can’t imagine the employed friend is an English major. Also tech runs on cheap money so I don’t even buy the premise that ML is booming in terms of hiring at these interest rates. [/quote]

That’s correct, point is all tech hiring is down, even hot fields. True, not an English major, but like OP, did go the expensive small school route rather than UMD. Had all the writing and core requirements that big school engineering students typically avoid. Who’s to say, but the gamble worked—has the hot job, feels fortunate, but trapped in place for now.[/quote]
