I won't lie, I am slightly upset at the lack of research but I won't blame the recruiter for it. But why is it so damn hard to get a job related to my studies?

you basically learned the gender studies equivalent of a STEM degree.

What percentage of the planet wants a job that they can just sit infront of a computer all day? You're not the only lazy bastard that thought he could code his way out of manual labor. If you're creative enough to code then create something for yourself. Don't rely on somebody else to magic your code into a wage.

>>108612669
should have gotten ee degree like your boomer uncle suggested instead.
>>
>>108612699
The argument would have worked if there is time to spend outside of wage slaving at an entry level job.

The indians took your job

CS is a solved field btw
>inb4 if you think this is true...
as more than one post on /g/ has said. having a CS PhD used to make you one of those "smart" guys back in the day. this is when entry six figures was big money, and you were basically guaranteed a job doing things considered impossible until the internet accumulated the entirety of knowledge about software development and anybody can copy-paste their way through writing basically anything. now that anyone can throw money at writing software using AI, and you saw this coming like I did, right?--- that the future (which is now) was going to be this uncertain for the industry? that not changing majors or specializing was basically a death sentence, and did what you did anyways, right? right??
basically your only real bet for doing anything related to your studies is going to be academic research. everything is super specialized now and even in 2016 I had an IT professor tell me that generalizing is basically the best option (until shit started hitting the fan later as early 2017) besides having another professor tell me I should change majors to business computer information systems... if you can get an MIS job or a job as >>108612684 writing powerBI you'd be lucky, OP. fugeddabout getting a job in research unless you have 10 years of experience and work at MS or IBM.

Become a consultant.
>>
>>108613060
sour grapes anon here and I'm gonna go out on a limb to say that this isn't what you want unless it's consultant CTO
I refuse to elaborate any further

superseded by AI (Artificial Intelligence and Actual Indians)
>>
>>108612669
10... years?
>>
>>108613088
post-grad is what I'm hoping OP means by taking 10 years
>>
>>108612669
They mostly hire the smartest guys in first world countries
>>108613026
This
Yeah you have to create and maybe those 10 years of soft experience Will be useful for based Linux distros
