Article that brings up AI & grade inflation as reasons for the difficulty in hiring recent grads. Some interesting anecdotes on how employers are differentiating recent graduates.[/quote]
Grade inflation? Since when have companies started checking or caring about grades. And why? Academic performance is nothing like a corporate job. [/quote]
Some care. I don't hire kids with Cs in calculus and physics for engineering positions. [/quote]

Do you care if the C was caused by illness and a prof who didn't care, not ability?[/quote]

Even when I graduated 20 years ago the career center would have tiers of jobs that people could apply for. The most selective of employers required a minimum of 3.75 GPA, then 3.5 then 3.0 then everyone else.

Nobody was getting interviews if they had C s. Maybe if you impressed a recruiter at a career fair or meet and greet at a bar you might get a second look but they would have stacks of resumes and there were probably dozens of kids who had A’s in all their math classes. What would be the point of figuring out if the C kid was worthwhile? Nobody has infinite time. [/quote]

This culture leads to cheating and unethical behavior where everyone is terrified to get less than an A. Students don’t try to learn, just figure out how to get a good grade.[/quote]
