[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve heard CS and software engineering jobs are hard to find now even for kids from top schools. Pre pandemic grads were getting competing offers from FAANG. I’m really curious about this as everything was focused on the lack of enough US kids in CS just 10 years ago. Have the schools doubled or tripled the size of their programs?[/quote]

CS is a wide field. Choice of upper level electives totally matters. College does not matter in most cases.

I want to hire students who took the harder upper level electives and got a B or better (no need for an A). Examples of harder electives include: compilers, OS internals/kernel, Advanced networking protocols, real-time/embedded systems, VHDL/Verilog. Also, we specifically need C programmers, not C++ or Rust or Fortran or some other language. There is a long-term chronic shortage of the kind of recent grads I want to hire.

There is a surplus of folks who take the easier upper level electives like web programming, Python, PHP, and such like. [/quote]
