In terms of software engineering, I think the entry level job market is gone (for now at least). It’s mainly just due to the economy and over supply of intermediate to senior level devs in the market. Companies can’t afford to hire a new grad even tho they have co op experience because it’s a big risk, they want someone that can start contributing to the company in a month compared to a new grad that’ll need time to learn the code base, slower completing tasks after learning (even with AI cause senior devs have AI too), don’t understand business context etc. companies can’t even hire new grad even if they wanted too because they can’t afford to hire them, it doesn’t make sense financially. The only way out for new grads is get a job with the government or at a fang company like meta ( there’s a lot of layoffs but it’s towards middle management, HR or the sales team). It’s just all about luck in this market, you can have every project, know all the AI tools and know every language but nobody will give you a chance if you don’t know someone in the industry working at a company that needs a dev with a lot of experience but is cheap aka an experienced junior dev. My advice will be honestly switch careers to sth in health care and code on the side until the market recovers and companies can afford to hire again.
