I’m in my third year majoring in software engineering. I’m hearing constant talk about how the job market is horrible, CS majors are going to wind up working at McDonald’s etc.
It’s pretty much become a laughing stock rn that all CS majors are going to end up being broke or not using their degree at all. I definitely know that the market is oversaturated right now, but how difficult is it to land a job if you’re living in the US.
Does this extend to all tech jobs like data analysts, cyber security, IT, software engineering etc?
I’m not asking about a stellar 6 figure salary or employment at a major company like Google or anything like that, but surely it’s possible to land a job at a smaller startup or a company that isn’t tech centered but has positions open that are tech related if your e-portfolio is good.
Just wondering if it really is as impossible and bleak as everyone is making it seem, or if there’s hope.
And if all else fails and you truly can’t find anything related to tech, is it possible to transition into other decent careers still only having a CS degree?
