      Not at Google, Amazon, or Meta. Some companies are still hiring new grads to make entry level engineers into their future senior engineers, but it’s usually older companies.

          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.

            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.

            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.
