[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Companies have been desperate the past few years and with attrition and other issues they hired anyone they could get. Now they only need 80% so they are laying off the bottom performing 20%.

The best employees have little to worry about. If they get laid off because they were on a downsized  team they will likely find something else.  For the foreseeable future, Companies are just getting more strict with whom they hire.

For new grads…. Get an internship. It’s Jess risk for a company to try out a kid for 3 months. If they prove themselves, they’ll get hired on full time. But yes. It’s going to be harder to get that internship in the future, where now companies like Amazon. Google, Microsoft, etc; we’re hiring and enticing sophomores CS or closely tech majors. [/quote]

The basic point is that there will be demand for CS jobs in the future. A CS degree will be marketable across many industries and sectors. Add a business or data science minor, even better. [/quote]

Yes.  Although as the number of CS grads increases, the salaries will not be as lucrative and the jobs not as glamorous.  Solid career but not worth forcing a kids who hates CS into it for the money.[/quote]

Agreed. It's a tough major, so one must like it.[/quote]
