[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Purely anecdotal but my 26 grad at a SLAC and most of their friends that had decent internships after junior years have received return offers[/quote]

That has ZERO bearing on this discussion. The job landscape has been decimated since your 26yo graduated. [/quote]

Class of 2026 graduate[/quote]

Wait till they're deferred, like many have been for 2025 graduates. I find it breathtaking you think you know what you're talking about since your kid got an internship.

I have no dog in this fight because my 2025 grad got a job after hustling after 2 impressive internships. [b]But, I'm not TA who will say that because he has a job, everyone should not worry. [/b][/quote]

ITA. In most cases, landing a job just before/after graduation requires serious hustling.

My 2023 grad is on job #2 post college graduation. Loves her colleagues in her department and is thrilled with her work.

My 2026 grad has a finalized job (starts work in June), where he worked as an intern summer 2024, school year 2024-25, and summer 25-present. He hustled to land this internship and has shown his work ethic over these 18 months. He has completed his TS/SCI poly, too.[/quote]

Well, thanks for admitting it, especially since you're rubbing more salt in people's wounds. I hope he's not deferred like three of DS's friends. [/quote]

Thanks for the good thoughts. He's not at a tippy top school and not a CS major so I am thinking there is less competition.[/quote]
