Stanford students describe a suddenly skewed job market, where just a small slice of graduates who already have thick resumes are getting the few good jobs, leaving everyone else to fight for scraps. Top tech companies just don't need as many fresh graduates. "Stanford computer science graduates are struggling to find entry-level jobs" with the most prominent tech brands, said Jan Liphardt, associate professor of bioengineering at Stanford University. "I think that's crazy." While the rapidly advancing coding capabilities of generative AI have made experienced engineers more productive, they have also hobbled the job prospects of early-career software engineers.
