They’re still doing better than a lot of fields. I mean when you factor in compensation it’s still one of the best fields to be in. Compare to a teacher, where you’ll need a master’s degree in most states and then you can expect a salary around 40k. Whereas with software, when you do find a job it’s not unusual to start over 100k. But if you were willing to work for half that, I bet you’d find something quick.
cs hasnt bee doing well for more than 10+years. one of the first thing i looked at on a different forum from that long ago, cs and one other stem was has pretty poor job prospects non-health bio, and cs.
Where have you been the last few years lol, new CS grads aren’t exactly doing well at the moment.

Plenty have given up after graduating and being on the job search for 2 or 3 years.
At least as a plumber or electrician you can actually still get a job.
They aren’t paying 100k for some fresh grad they need to train. They will pay them to train their AI models at the lowest possible price point though.
CS has a pretty high unpemployment rate and that was pre-covid too. yea maybe it was meant for grad school from the sounds of it.
