I’ve spent years working toward a CS degree and honestly the current tech job market has me questioning everything. It feels like even being “above average” isn’t enough anymore,almost like you need to be top 1% just to land an entry role. I’ve even thought about switching to EE. For those in tech or engineering, are you seeing hiring pick back up, and have any of you pivoted fields because of the market?

I've seen articles about how people in your position are walking into an absolutely terrible job market. If you've got an opportunity to pivot to something else, or perhaps hedge your bets to whatever extent, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Sometimes things change quickly, and what looks grim can turn around, so things may not turn out as badly as they seem. Still, the more options you've got the better off you'll be.

I hear this concern a lot lately. The market feels tighter, but cycles like this have happened before. Strong fundamentals, practical projects, and networking still matter more than trying to chase the top one percent label.

I’m tired of all these AI jokes AI responses of nothing

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
