[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some of you have been talking about this for a while. I just stumbled across this today:

"ook i know this sounds like doom posting because it is. but someone needs to tell you the truth before you waste 4 years of your life

[b]cs unemployment just hit 6.1% for new grads. thats HIGHER than liberal arts majors. let that sink in. [/b]computer engineering is even worse at 7.5%. you have better odds getting a job with an english degree

remember when everyone said "just get into faang"? 700+ people laid off DAILY in tech this year. meta alone cut 20k+. these aren't juniors, these are senior engineers with 10+ yoe now flooding the entry level market. you're not competing with other new grads anymore, [b]you're competing with ex-google engineers willing to take 60k just to have a job.[/b] theyre lit cutting everyone w/ ai. coding is the first thing ai will take."

And the rest.....

This is silly.  We can’t find decent programmers to fill mid level contracting roles making $140K.  I’ve literally never seen a resume with FAANG experience applying for a government contracting job.

I feel like the people that waste time hand wringing about changes at the margins like this are the same people that base significant life decisions on $0.10 per gallon gas price fluctuations.  [/quote]
