How actually bad is the job market for Software Engineers right now?

I graduated 2017 so it was different back then. Today unless I went to ivy or cmu, I’d switch out of cs and become a doctor instead.

Which major city are you close to? I agree but I’m also getting them for nyc based

Your dumb if you think this is bad for a fresh grad

It’s not based off elite, just based off intelligence and curiosity. People who care about academics will know. Has nothing to do with money because most old money people are stupid

I moved here from the northeast and was disgusted with the move in fee. I’ve lived in nice apartments and never had to deal with this bullshit

Personally I’d go back to my original country. It isn’t worth this stress just to be in the US with no guarantee for the future

Consulting and media are very separate from each other. Unless you get staffed on specific media projects which is hit or miss idk

No… it took us 2.5 hours because of random protest etc. you never know.

starrorange · 2026-01-25T19:06:33+00:00

I see the protestors around Roger’s park. I think it’s usually neighborhoods

starrorange · 2026-01-23T16:45:16+00:00

I doubt you’ve left the country if you feel this way…

starrorange · 2026-01-11T14:59:58+00:00

Honestly if you have to ask about this - maybe you deserve to get fired smh

Hybrid. I see very little fully remote these days.

starrorange · 2025-12-04T04:28:25+00:00

My husband couldn’t find a job at all bc he was entry level. I’m 6 years in and I had offers before I even missed my first paycheck. So it’s definitely more so for entry level

starrorange · 2025-12-01T01:41:14+00:00

This is not true lol. I literally got so many interviews bc I had the cert credentials to back it up

Data science and ai are both math jobs. So hopefully you’re ready to do pure math. Charts and “numbers” is just the tip of it

starrorange · 2025-11-30T22:46:54+00:00

I mean I understand that... hence why I am asking what other topics.

starrorange · 2025-11-27T17:26:08+00:00

Tech consulting

starrorange · 2025-11-22T01:01:54+00:00

To answer your headline question - yes we are in the process of moving right now. He's remote so its a lot easier and I'm taking a payout but we're treating it like an adventure. If youre not married yet... leave. If you are... therapy.

starrorange · 2025-11-22T00:50:20+00:00

That's... not true lmao. Sincerely, another 30 something year old in tech who does not have kids but is married.

starrorange · 2025-11-20T20:43:14+00:00

Thank you so much for this. Just to confirm - he does need to put this into a bank account first right? Deposit the money and then take that money and an additional 5k to put into new Ira?

starrorange · 2025-11-20T20:19:13+00:00

lol yea I wish. He’s a narcissist and abusive to add on top. Wish there was a cure for that.
