[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s challenging right now in the market.  During admitted student days at Princeton, MIT (virtual for parents), Hopkins, and Georgetown, their career center missions all presented and the data should significant decrease in on campus recruiting and number of 2023s entering the job market within 6 months after graduation.  They stated companies across numerous industries although are hiring, they aren’t hiring as many positions.  Students who have been hired have received delayed start dates, bonuses to delay start dates etc.  Also, the data showed an upward trend in students staying for an additional year to pursue their masters and students pursuing other graduate degrees.  This is like the early 2000s when .dotcom took a hit and those that graduated in 2000-2003 are still feeling the financial impacts to this day.  My prediction this will be the case for 2023-2026/7.

As for CS majors, Hopkins stated that although numerous people major in it, it’s an innate talent. Some people it truly clicks for and they do research, startups etc hence they get targeted for hires but if you are not a standout it may be better to pursue other areas.  They stressed this numerous times in engineering dept talk.   MIT is offering an AI degree as SB for undergrads.  MIT stated they have been also impacted by the market and of course showed stats to you can see in their CAPD site.    Georgetown talked about delayed starts and higher number of students taking a gap year and pursuing grad school.  [/quote]

well, Princeton, MIT, Hopkins, and Georgetown are NOT Yale, where apparently it’s different![/quote]
