New computer science graduates are struggling to get hired because experienced professionals like me, with seven years of experience, can afford to lower our wages if we lose our jobs. Companies will still find me far more valuable than a fresh graduate who requires training. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend studying computer science unless you genuinely enjoy it. When I chose CS, it wasn’t just a trend-I truly loved the subject. Most of my friends aren’t CS majors or minors, but a lot of people jumped into CS purely for the money. Now that the financial incentives have diminished, it’s tough for those who don’t have a genuine interest in the field to thrive. If you don’t love CS, surviving in this industry can be very challenging.

However, the good old days are gone, even some CS graduate from UC Berkeley doesn't get any offer (complained by some CS professors in UC Berkeley).

I got into tech pre covid by luck, it’s so much harder for new grads today. If I were a new grad, I would focus on utilizing AI to start my own start up, you can make pretty good money from a saas company, if you get acquired you’ll have life changing money, if you fail then that’s a way better experience to apply to big tech (everyone is building todo list apps for their portfolio projects). Or I would learn sales skills, sales people are still the highest paid professionals. They tend to have better lifestyles, social, and romantic success than CS people.

If you are entry-level. The odds are much better if you apply to smaller lesser known companies. They are more likely to give entry level people a chance. Too many grads focus on well known companies only. It's like they are not doing it because they love the work. They Just want the fame. When I got into it, I did it as a hobby, didn't care what company that hired me. I just wanted to learn and grow and accepted low pay at unknown companies. Eventually some bigger companies noticed and wanted me on my team. You have to love it. Not for money not for fame. Just love and enjoy learning and growing as a profession.

[@arkadi8499]

In tech jobs across the U.S., Canada, and the entire West, about 99% of interviewers are now Indian. This dominance stems from a strategy the Indian government launched around 2010 or earlier, using tech outsourcing to lift the country out of poverty. It worked-thanks to the greedy, profit-driven corporate model. Today, Indians dominate tech fields in the West, from CEOs and C-suites to entry-level jobs, and they've imported their system of hiring their own. The result? A cycle where innovation stagnates. They don’t build or invent; instead, they keep things hanging to stay in control. That’s why companies like Amazon are increasingly subpar, and many tech products feel like scams from top to bottom. Their underhanded behavior has created widespread dislike and mistrust, rooted in the perception that their approach is more about exploitation than progress.

[@SelfSustainableCity]

Everything goes through its boom and bust. I was a Director Of Operations of a healthcare company.

[@KyleCox404]

It's amazing that all these "smart" tech job people can't understand the basics of capitalism. Any worker, diploma or not, is just a tool to extract surplus value. You are no better than any other worker. In other words, you are there so the company can steal as much money from your work as possible, period. Once AI or cheaper workers come along, say goodbye. Computer science people seem to skip their basic economics lesson on how capitalism works. There is no morality or ethics; it's just pure exploitation. The only way some workers (and not many of them) have a bit more power is if they understand the internal system. This allows them to hold capitalists hostage, as finding new workers and training them takes time. But beyond that, a worker is just a modern slave, regardless of how "techy" the job is.

[@nobody27019]

Tech people are not the only ones to blame. Very few other professions, if any, has as much gaslighting and narcissism as the tech field. You are expected to have a "passion" for what you do while the company is ready to cut you off at any time they see fit. You are expected to take that with a smile, and pretend that you learned so much from that "experience", and go on the search for another job right away. If you stay unemployed for a couple of months, you suddenly have to explain why. All that for a laughable salary because you "like" what you do, don't you? Almost as if you owe the company money for having that "wonderful opportunity" to make millions for them. I haven't heard about truck drivers or construction workers having to deal with any of this s--t.

[@ramrao668]

Since you are so "smart", whats your alternative solution to capitalism ?

[@herbertnatanael]

You treat capitalism as simply a form of exploitation. If it is so bad, then become an entrepreneur. Why study and dedicate years to a specialization if you can simply exploit the work of others? Then you will see the difficulty of undertaking and being successful. The economy works like a free market of voluntary exchanges, if there is a high supply of a product or it has no value, then it will have no price.You say that people don't attend economics classes, which I agree with, but you also seem to have not attended half of them.

[@TK-gm2zr]

What you say is the true outcome of unbridled capitalism. But unbridled capitalism is not the only choice. Countries can choose to enact law and policy that prioritizes the well being of their own citizens instead of prioritizing the interests of oligarchs or instead of prioritizing the aspirations of foreigners over citizens. The best interests of a country’s citizens is ultimately in the best interests of the country as a whole. There are many levers the U.S. could use to benefit its citizens but there has been a lack of moral courage and common sense, leading to a lack of political will.

It is very hard to predict what will happen, but one thing is certain: juniors are in a tough spot, and they may need to consider another field. The tech industry is no longer for juniors, and only God knows when it will be again. Of course, there are still jobs, and there will continue to be, but the requirements have become unrealistic. For example, companies expect one person to handle backend, frontend, and DevOps. How can anyone master all that? But they know people are desperate, and they will push themselves to learn it all, even for a lower salary.

[@dnifty1]

The reality is that "tech jobs" have been promoted and propped up for a long time as some kind of super complex advanced form of engineering when they actually mostly are not, especially today. Everybody who works in tech is not really an "engineer" as in comparable to someone who designs and builds rockets, planes or automobiles from scratch. And that image was partly boosted by the economy itself which needed programmers and actual "engineers" as web programming and development took off in the late 90s, increasing the number of developers in companies across the board. But today, programming is not seen the same way by companies as it was before, especially with the current interest rates and state of investing, so it doesn't make sense to spend as much as before. Programming is just a commodity now and therefore something they want to get done as cheaply as possible.

[@piotrd.4850]

Indeed; I mean it has been happening in most fields, but especially in IT definition of 'tech' and 'engineer' has been pushed to absurd, when lke 80% of them were simple CRUD apps for not demanding domains.

Then theres the entrance of Big Tech companies here in Kenya, Google expanded it's offices in Nairobi so did AWS and Microsoft.

For the last 300 years, no matter what country, what empire, what city, if it was capitalist, it operated on this fundamental fact: the profits of the capitalist class is but the unpaid labor of the working class.

Also, very few companies are building major software anymore. The most important softwares have been built. One good news though is that Gen-X is retiring soon. That will free up positions for new grads. Hopefully this job-hunt trauma won't lead to a shortage of tech people, and the cycle repeats.

[@Petioptrv]

Not convinced. All those "AI improves coders efficiency" studies are done by companies who’s bottom line is directly tied to people believing that. Ask (senior) engineers that actually use the stuff see what they think about the efficiency. As for big tech, they saw what Musky did at X, saw the interest rates go up, and decided they need to get lean, but telling investors that it’s because of AI is a sexy narrative. Next, for outsourcing elsewhere, that has been a threat since Skype had video calls. It didn’t happen back then, I bet it won’t happen now either. Timezone, language barriers, work culture differences-big tech won’t rely on that in a serious way other than servicing foreign markets. My two cents, it’s a downturn dictated by the current economic market. If we don’t find a new revolutionary tech (or a use case for LLMs), it may never go back up to the same heights, but it won’t disappear either.

[@WooseveltJoseph]

So we need to work on our problem-solving skills. Don't just learn to work with others; learn to build solutions with the knowledge you have. If you do that, you might not need to work for a company-you can become one. There are so many problems in the world, and with the right mindset, we can create solutions to make a real difference.

Serious question: Why is there so much emphasis from tech workers to simply 'get a job' versus create a small business of their own?

[@donaldyeung9448]

Answer is simple, the risk and reward. 10+ year experience in high tech companies like Google, Meta, you can get a total compensation around $500K or more, without a lot of risk. Those top talents open their high tech startup, would like to make 10M+, that is why they are willing to take the risk. Who will be stupid enough to take a high risk and low reward thing like "create a small business of their own", what kind of business it will be such that they can make that much money. The reason why some many Chinese or Indian come to US for high tech jobs because of the juicy reward. In some sense, leaving their countries and work for US is sort of "Betrayer", why not contribute to their own country, instead working for the others to make USA great. All because of money and opportunity. Without coming to USA, won't you think that the CEO of MSFT or Google is as famous or rich as they are now. No way in India with its corrupted environment.

[@piotrd.4850]

To put it bluntly: because most people have already oversaturated their devices with apps.

[@milanlabus1582]

Because the big 6 tech companies are monopolies who can easily make your start up disappear, google and removing your website from existence with their search engine, apple can remove your app from the app store or they could just copy your product since software cant have patents

[@Whatsupdev]

New grads today need real world projects and internships (at least 3 internships at corporate companies) and they will be miles ahead of the new grads who graduate with NO experience or projects at all.

[@BobSmith-u9l]

The job market for engineering, particularly in fields like Computer Science (CS) and Electrical Engineering (EE), is undergoing significant changes. Many U.S.-based jobs in these sectors are increasingly being outsourced to countries like India, where labor costs are considerably lower. The trend mirrors the earlier shift of manufacturing jobs overseas, driven by the economic advantage of hiring in regions where salaries are a fraction of those in the U.S. For instance, while an engineer might earn a competitive salary in the U.S., similar work can be done in India for roughly one-third to one-eighth of the cost, depending on whether the work is done locally or entirely offshore. One of my kids at 26 started a dog kennel at 23 post CS grad from CSU. His biz is clearing 215K this past year. I feel bad for US workers but you are a boat anchor. You are not needed. Welcome to the international community. Also remember these companies are not about country but profit. US got rid of manufacturing jobs and replaced those poor people with meth and oxy. No one in the US gives a crap. Its all about profit. Which we have been sold is better than Communism but the net result is the same.

[@cotiocantoro7564]

Yes, the USA isn't even a real country. It's a pseudocountry that would rather commit suicide through unsustainable economics and ethics. Its quite pathetic. Our own congress sold us out to corporations during the Reagan administration. I fully believe that the rich robber barons believe that they own America and its people.

Like the video, but you need to adjust your mic or something. The sound is subtly fading in and out, plus maybe some very subtle pronunciation variation. It's difficult to understand what you're saying across sentences. Thanks for the video. Interesting topic. 👍

Nobody ever makes it out of silicon valley alive... I worked there. The dark secret about silicon valley is that your expected to make their millions between the ages of 21-35. If you manage stay in past the age of 35. And the stress doesn't get to you first. Your salary decreases 50 grand for every year that you do stay in until the age of 40 by which of then in tech your dead.

I wonder if they are outsourcing those entry level jobs so that the political and public backlash they anticipate coming due to AI automation of those entry level jobs won’t be as bad. The idea is, “ We automated foreign labor, not American!”

If you don't want to engage with artificial intelligence you need to go closer to the metal and become a low-level programmer working on things like microcontrollers and stuff like that. Companies are going to want to rush out more physical products that are powered by smart cloud infrastructure. IOT is going to explode beyond our imagination.

[@gauloise6442]

The economy has been great ever since the end of WW2, and there is this feeling that it will be better once it sorts itself out and then things will boom. Well, society has been in steady decline my entire life since the 1980s, with each decade worse than the previous one. At a certain point, things do crash. You do hit a wall. This was the reality previous generations knew because they lived in hardship. Comfort and prosperity are extremely rare. If we dont fight for it, it will disappear.

[@holding9458]

Great video! Very Insightful. Currently in a CS grad program right now. Open AI came to our campus and in their presentation, they said they're only hiring new grad positions to only the top 6 Computer Science universities in NA. 5 are in the USA and 1 in Canada.

Successful investing is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding on when you are bored and just craving a little action. Investing is 5% intellect and 95% temperament.
