True that.... Can't find a job cuz of AI
so you’re telling me I SHOULDNT pick a tech major?
Well personally ik I'm fucked as a software dev but if you have good connections/networking you might be ok... But overall this market is cooked and oversaturated
can you elaborate one why it’s cooked? are all tech fields in deep shit rn? im sorry if im bothering you but i just cant find someone to ask about this because im such an introvert i have no connections nor networking so im kinda stuck
but aren’t software devs pretty flexible and versatile? as in can integrate and take on jobs in a wide range of positions
That's what I thought too. Esp in this economy those with software skills, computer science degrees and tech stuff are earning some of the most money.....
It's my first time ever hearing someone with a computer science degree say their fucked considering it's the most popular degree nowadays BCS of job prospects
As i said it really depends. Even people who have had internships or work experience are having a hard time getting hired because companies want devs who have 5+YOE with certifications. I worked with databases and AI in my last internship and sent out 200 applications with only 4 interviews. It’s not easy as it used to be is what im saying compared to 2021. I know people who are quite smarter than me and leetcode like crazy and can’t get hired. I likely have to go in for masters if i want better chances and do more internships. In my school CS was the third popular major after business and psychology so it gives an idea how popular and competitive it is.
if you do want to stick to it just really focus on getting work with research and doing other gigs for better prospects. I really want to emphasize how important research, certificates, internships, and even career fairs can be. I neglected some stuff and working on getting certificates atm. Im also not great at networking so try your best.
Omg a fellow CS major knowing the industry is doomed for us I literally just had a interview for an internship last Friday but I’m shit at coding cause I barely learned for over a year after I changed majors
You can do it if you really enjoy
It just keep going for those internships. ML, data science, webdev and AI are flooded so it’s really tough. If you pick up on network protocols, client server side programming, Docker, UNIX/Linux, devops, embedded systems like with an Arduino, or even sockets you can stand out more. There is always demand for people with that knowledge and some of it isn’t super difficult coding. I wish i knew that stuff earlier so hang in there guys you have better chances
As someone who takes Adderall, lives in southern California, studied computer science, coded projects with speech recognition and AI chatbots, can't find a tech job cuz of AI, doomed on LinkedIn, this story is hitting to close to home and I hate it...
