[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big argument on twitter the last few days. Elon says there is a CS and engineer shortage so we need more H 1 B. Many people chiming in that their recent tech grad kids can’t get jobs.[/quote]

The shortage Elon is concerned about is a shortage of experienced high-level folks — not entry-level cs grads.[/quote]

Exactly . Cs and all engineering from top schools(ivies , stanford, MIT, hopkins cmu and a couple others) are in high demand: these schools produce highly technically skilled plus able to write and lead, and think on their feet. Cs hiring slowdown is most dramatic outside the elite schools. [/quote]
Almost everyone across the board struggled with CS recruiting these past two years. I know the parents on this board are obsessed with prestige, but no, MIT grads also struggle to get software jobs. It’s a lot more competitive than it used to be. I just recently graduated from Harvard and quite a few of my CS friends do not have jobs. Entry level is violently competitive.[/quote]

My 2024 Cornell grad is out earning me (a  GS 14) and only works about 6-7 hours most days.[/quote]
