Tech Jobs Have Dried Up

Tech degrees no longer guarantee a job. This WSJ article is filled with unfortunate anecdotes. Lately, I'm hearing similar narratives from students. Previously, a Berkeley CS graduate, even if not a top student, would receive multiple appealing job offers in terms of work type, location, salary, and employer. However, outstanding students, like those with a 4.0 in-major GPA, are now contacting me worried because they have zero offers. I suspect this trend is irreversible and likely part of the broader trend impacting almost every employment sector. I hate to say this, but a person starting their degree today may find themself graduating four years from now into a world with very limited employment options. Add to that the growing number of people losing their employment and it should be crystal clear that a serious problem is on the horizon. We should be doing something about it today. Tech Jobs Have Dried Up—and Aren’t Coming Back Soon
