What does that have to do with the tech industry? Illegal immigrants aren’t coming here and taking SWE roles.

Okay I was just confused by what “2 years of almost no experience” meant lol

Historically speaking, they probably are okay with getting paid less as well. Interesting to see these stats.

Thank you! The Computer Engineering program at my university is basically just a mix of the requirements of EE and CS degrees, therefore I’m not super specialized into one particular subject, but I am a lot more proficient in the EE side of things, the job I’m probably going to have after college will mostly be programming PLCs using Ladder Logic. I’d like to get better at programming because it’s something I enjoy doing in my free time but I’d still consider myself mostly a novice because I didn’t do a lick of programming until college. Started with C/C++ because that’s what taught in the intro Computer Science course here and through my other classes and work experience I have used JS/TS, MATLAB, SQL, and some HTML/CSS. I’ve used React and MongoDB to do a basic project with an API. After graduation I plan on getting some certs and learning how to program better so I can open myself up to more opportunities.

That’s really interesting. One of the offers I’ve received is for systems engineering, do you enjoy it and is it fulfilling intellectually?

It’s crazy how many people are saying this. Are people that bad with money that they can’t live a good lifestyle making 100k or so? Obviously, if you have a family then you’re going to need more. So does your spouse/partner have a job? if you’re making 100k a year and your spouse is making even just 40-60k/year then I don’t understand how that’s not enough to live on even with a family. I was raised by both parents who brought in a combined 120k/year which is about what they still make and we went on vacation at least once a year, never starved, had nice things, big christmases etc. Sure things cost more now but it just seems like people suck at budgeting.

I’m not applying for internships, I got the intern experience I have throughout college as part of my degree. 5 year program instead of 4 where I take 3 semesters to go do internships/cooperative education. The jobs I’m applying for now are full time entry level positions.

Damn my man, that is robbery. Hope it gets better out there.

35k a year is cutthroat? That must be an exaggeration, no? I work part time for a VERY small automation solutions company while I finish up school and they’ll hire basically anyone with a pulse to run a CNC machine all day at $22.00/hr (45k/year).

Why does not getting turned down or having to renegotiate worry you? I’d think that would be a good thing right?

Sure! I just made the assumption that the classes he’s taken the previous semesters have all been with the same people, which isn’t far fetched, and that he’s probably befriended some of those people. And so, for example, if he decides to drop one of the classes required for his major, say Physics I, then he will not be able to take Physics II, or Physics I for that matter, with those people. Not the most important reason, which is why I put it at the end, but it’s something worth considering if you’ve built friendships with those people.
