During the lockdowns, there was a lot of demand for software, so programmer wages were inflated due to demand. We’re still in the pandemic, but now that everyone has decided to pretend we aren’t, they don’t want to pay programmers as much. So the tech companies decided to downsize and create an artificial surplus in order to lower wages. You’re unemployed so that you’ll compete with other CS graduates and drive down wages. It’s a conspiracy.
I chose a STEM degree and made less than a McDonald’s manager, because academic science jobs pay poorly
Bruh I have a degree in COMPUTER SCIENCE and I can’t even find a job
