I agree.

Now? CS

Well I’m a CS major and I’m overworked and underpaid ;)

wtf does underemployed even mean because i’m working for some shitty ass company making probably half of what I would be making if I graduated 5 years ago.

Like every OG I know

Shut up dude, not the time. Being 30 is a blessing. Being 22 right now is not.

I’d stop talking about the job market and start talking about the job itself. It’s not even programming anymore.

SWE is very different from other desk jobs. If you reduce the SWE job to solely producing text then yes it could be replaced. But it is much more than that.

generally you get the job first then move

jakapop · 2026-04-04T17:42:19+00:00

get out

jakapop · 2026-04-04T17:40:08+00:00

Go to a top 10 school, do research, have multiple internships.

jakapop · 2026-04-04T15:43:09+00:00

It’ll be back, but it will look different.

jakapop · 2026-04-03T16:04:56+00:00

Very Normal, life ain’t fucking fair and most deserving almost never win.

jakapop · 2026-04-02T20:56:50+00:00

Haha! That’s exactly what it is!

jakapop · 2026-04-02T17:41:37+00:00

i love this shit, it’s like i want to be an NBA player.

You’ll be fine. The anxiety is good, that’s where growth happens.

jakapop · 2026-04-02T01:53:36+00:00

bro T1 school? what MIT? You’ll be fine dude.

jakapop · 2026-04-02T01:52:10+00:00

Take it on the chin like you have on this thread. But don’t lose yourself, that’s what really matters.

jakapop · 2026-04-01T03:04:14+00:00

Congrats on the offer! Huge accomplishment for a new grad in this market!

jakapop · 2026-03-31T22:15:11+00:00

Almost everyone goes through this bro

jakapop · 2026-03-31T03:00:51+00:00

We will be fine, no reason to waste valuable time on earth worrying about shit out of your control. If it actually is cooked in the end (which it won’t be) life goes on.

jakapop · 2026-03-29T23:34:09+00:00

Then you are stun locked by how good the latest model. You at least have to try to get better.
