#1 完了,UCB的Job Market崩溃了(特指马工)
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43001408
I work in administration at UC Berkeley, and I need to say this: something is deeply broken.
For years, Berkeley’s Computer Science program was a direct pipeline to top-tier tech jobs. Didn’t matter if you were just "above average"—if you made it through, you'd land a solid job with a great salary. But now? I’m watching some of the most brilliant students, the ones with perfect 4.0 GPAs, prestigious internships, and research experience, graduate with nothing. No offers. No interviews. Just radio silence. Professors are noticing it too. Students who should be drowning in job offers are instead emailing their advisors in a panic: “What do I do now?” “Should I apply for grad school?” “Was this all a waste?”
And here’s the part that really scares me—this isn’t just a temporary downturn. The people who should know what’s going on—our faculty, career services, recruiters—have no answers. They just keep telling students to “network more” or “apply to startups.” But those startups? They’re laying people off too. The harsh reality is that a UC Berkeley CS degree is no longer a ticket to job security. The system that promised students a clear path to success is breaking down, and the people in charge are too scared to admit it.
I don’t know how this plays out, but I do know this: If you’re a student banking on a Berkeley degree to guarantee your future, you need a backup plan. Because the old rules don’t apply anymore.
The question is—what happens when the smartest students in the country realize the system has failed them?

The problem is the H1Bs flooding the market in an unsustainable way.

yea, the percentage of H1Bs is so big compared to the market that we will soon be shutting down all higher ed facilities

Well higher ed is one of the biggest lobbyists for the H1B program.
Foreigners come here on student visas, pay the universities international tuition rates with no aid, get their degrees, and then convert to H1B. So it would be interesting to see how that plays out.

猩门工程的本质是通过建立大量联网的AI数据和计算中心 取代所有的白领岗位 五千亿的投资来自各大公司的白领裁员 节省下来的花费
白领岗位消失以后 各个大穴都破产倒闭 西方资本主义社会会慢慢回到十八世纪欧粥的状态
现在正在大穴里上学的本科生 研究生 在未来的五到十年内基本会全部失业
这些大穴的校董们都很清楚这件事 现在就是骗最后几波穴费 准备跑路了

做了intern,然后拿不到return offer......只能说明那人的4.0水分很大
用intern的目的就是看那人有没有可能有资格被雇佣回来,而不是找临时工干杂活,intern的时间段,基本上贡献是负的,因为你需要让资深员工消耗时间来带。

cs已经饱和,以后大量学生毕业后得去做科研,比如生物,医学,机器人...我的叔叔于勒 写了: 2025年 2月 13日 00:04 猩门工程的本质是通过建立大量联网的AI数据和计算中心 取代所有的白领岗位 五千亿的投资来自各大公司的白领裁员 节省下来的花费

美国虽然第二产业不行,但还是需要人学机械化工电机之类的
生化环材也是
美国仅有的那点理工aptitude强的人都学cs了,以后怎么发展技术

没办法,CS包裹比机械类好太多了。斯坦福本科毕业生规模虽小,也有16%(有说18%)是CS。da1gaku 写了: 2025年 2月 13日 01:21 美国虽然第二产业不行,但还是需要人学机械化工电机之类的

年景不好,很多公司出台了return offer freeze的政策,dragonemp 写了: 2025年 2月 13日 00:15 做了intern,然后拿不到return offer......只能说明那人的4.0水分很大

这年头公司也狼狈,不仅无力再雇intern,连老员工也需要大量layoff
