People say computer science goes through boom-and-bust cycles, and that things will improve in the next boom. But right now there’s an oversupply of CS graduates.Even if hiring increases, won’t there still be a large backlog of CS grads competing for jobs? How does an oversupply affect the market when demand picks up?(Sincerely a senior in CS abt to graduate)
Don't worry about it
>>108201442The >boom and bust cyclesAre over the span of 10-15 yearsBy the time there would be another boom, AI will already be far more capable than 99% of humans.Nothing you can do at this point, it's over.
>>108201442The oversupply will find and be trained in jobs outside of CS, thus effectively converting themselves to non CS employees. Unfortunately the cycles are about a decade long.
>>108201442Nobody is going to hire the crusty old grads who never got a job so it will just work itself out
>>108201442Saar
>>108201846*lah, in my case
>>108201843As much as it's terrible to admit a large part of success or failure in life is due to timing and luck. The same person can put the same amount of effort and see it rewarded or see it give nothing at all, depending on factors beyond their control. It is what it is.
