[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know SOOO many places hiring CS grads. Rigor matters. Students who take the rigorous upper-level elective classes, like compilers, real-time/embedded systems, C/UNIX programming, are not having a lot of trouble finding jobs. Students who focused on easier electives, such as web tools and web scripting, are in surplus and have a lot more trouble finding work.[/quote] Yes. The problem is that the tech world, unlike other jobs, pivots very quickly, so your tech skills can become obsolete in a matter of a couple of years. It's high risk but high rewards. The low level programming jobs have mostly left the country to offshore or AI. That ship has sailed a long time ago. I've worked in tech since 1998, and pivoted to PM roles about 8 years ago.
