Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates
AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days ago3-5 years ago my answer would’ve been different. I could trip and find a job offer. I was getting job offers by email essentially without interviewing.
About a year ago that completely dried up. I can’t even remember the last email I got that was more than recruiter spam. My friend who used to also trip into jobs (7 at peak) has been hunting for 3 months now with no luck.
But…servers and data centers and stuff, you’re probably onto something. Wishing you the best.

I’ve been looking t fulltime for a long time now, and from what I’ve seen there are a tonne of jobs out there, it’s just that are that many more qualified devs than their were just a few years ago.
The way I see it, the hiring bubble that exploded during the pandemic let a lot of people gain proficiency, then followed by the waves of layoffs and you’ve got a lot of talented folks looking.
