Od kiedy nagle zaczelo nam brakowac inzynierow?

Lets assume you got already into t10 school. What do you need to become top 10% of CS grads or elite?

How many leetcode problems do you need to solve. How many projects and what type of projects do you need?

I know that right now you need to be top 10% to land any job in tech so I wonder what it takes. I got into t10 CS school but I wonder if its worth it to go or go into other major?

Recently on this sub I have seen post about careers where you can make 300k+. And looking at the posts the conclusion was that getting CS job is right now harder than getting into high paying finance, law or medicine.

Is that really the truth? Is getting job in law finance or medicine way easier than in CS. If so why people still go into CS that is harser to get in and pay less if they can just go into law where its easier?

Hey everyone, I’m a sophomore in Computer Science looking for resume project ideas that will actually catch a recruiter's eye. I know I need projects to land an internship, but I'm tired of seeing the same generic advice to build to-do lists, weather apps, or basic clones

What are some unique, more advanced project ideas (or specific tech stacks) that helped you stand out and land your first role? I'd love to hear examples of what worked for you or what areas (like cloud, DevOps, or system design) I should focus on. Thanks!

For many years we have seen that most of hard workers went into college to become lawyer doctor nurse engineer software developers etc. So there was not really much peole left who wants to work hard after these fields have taken all of these people.

And with that trades were left mostly with high school dropouts or people who dont really have good work ethic what is causing extreme dropout rate after first year of apprentice ship.

Of courae there are still some hard workers who are doing really great job but we all known that probably 70% of trades workforce ia just plainly bad at their job have no work ethic. And the rest 30% of trades workforce does good job and make up for bad workers.

Its just hard to find really good workers right now because all of th are sucked into high skill white collar jobs like accounting engineering or software development. But right now we see rise of AI and massive layoffs.

Of course there are still pretty small but in probably 3-5 year 80% of high skilled white collar job like engineering software development and accounting will be gone and these people will look for new jobs.

These new job wont be in white collar because AI will take most of the jobs and the only thing left are trades. So thesenhard workers wont have really choice but to go into trades instead of high paying white collar jobs.

Do you think that it will ne easier then to find good workers and dropout rate will go significantly gone as we wont need to choose from dropouts and people who didnt want to really work hard. But we will choose from people who worked their ass of to become engineers?

It seems like majority of smart people who formerly would go into CS and become software engineers are switching to other fields because CS became too risky choice with all this oversaturation.

These people are switching to nursing mechanical electrical engineering and accounting. With such brain drain from CS to these fields it seems like plenty of people who would become good software developers wont even get into that field.

Of course we cant blame them only really dumb people are choosing to major in CS right now with how oversaturates this is. But do you think that this braind drain will cause lack of innovation and worse code overall?

Hi im looking for a career right now that is well paid but at the same time its not oversaturated so it is possible to get in.

We all know that software engineers are pretty well paid but the problem is that they are insanely oversaturated to the point where no matter how good you are you wont get hired unless you have 5 years of expierence.

So im looking at other careers that are compensated similiarly to software engineers and where its actually possible to break in if you are hard worker not like in tech right now. This job can be harder than CS i dont care about difficulty of subject it just needs to have any opportunities.

Are there any well paid non saturated fields where hard and smart workers are can thrive or everything right now is like tech where no matter hpw hard you work you will still end up jobless?

Hi Im trying to get into trades specifically I want to become electrician. I already applied to like 80+ places for apprenticeship but I couldnt get anything.

Im getting desperate and im thinking about going into trade school to be more competitive for these apprenticeships.

Do you think its worth it to go into trade school and take a loan or should I just try to apply more? Im little hesistant to take this loan but if it will make it easier to get into trades maybe its worth it.

It seems you’re either unemployed for several months, completely unable to land anything… or you suddenly score a 150-200k job out of nowhere.

Especially as a senior, why are there only these extremes? Where are all the normal 80-110k jobs that are actually reasonable to get? Why is it either making bank or earning basically nothing? Why is tech like this?

The "elite overproduction" discourse is getting exhausting. The idea that there are too many ambitious, highly-educated people competing for top roles treats personal growth like a factory defect. In reality, why wouldn't someone want to maximize their earning potential? Labeling people as a surplus just because they’re chasing a high TC feels like a way to shame individuals for a system that simply can't keep up with their drive.

​Most of people aren't trying to be elites they’re just trying to afford a home and some financial peace of mind in this economy. If the middle class bar has moved so high that it now requires an elite-tier salary, you can’t blame people for doing whatever it takes to get there. Ambition isn't the problem; it’s just basic human nature to want a bigger piece of the pie.

Looking at this sub it seems that only top 10-20% of CS students right now end up in job related to their degree.

But looking at the statistics for new grads it seems that median grad from CS earns about 87k so where are these people finding these high paying jobs if they can't find job in tech?

And this median is way higher than for all degrees 58k so where these 50% premium comes from if not from tech jobs?

And I doubt that higher unemployment is pushing this that much because overall unemployment is 4.2% and for CS is 7% so its top 47.9 percentile vs 46.5 percentile and I doubt that this 1% makes such a difference.

And these 87k median is for all people employed no matter if in tech job or underemployed.
