"Previously, a Berkeley [computer science] graduate, even if not a top student, would receive multiple appealing job offers in terms of work type, location, salary, and employer. However, outstanding students, like those with a 4.0 in-major GPA, are now contacting me worried because they have zero offers."
"Lately, I'm [hearing] similar narratives from students. I suspect this trend is irreversible and likely part of the broader trend impacting almost every employment sector."
"The National Association of College and Employers released survey results that found hiring forecasts for new grads were six percent down from 2023. When it comes to underemployment, or working jobs that one is overqualified for, those numbers were starker: four in ten, or 40 percent, of recent college grads self-reported that they were underemployed in 2024."
