    They’re still doing better than a lot of fields. I mean when you factor in compensation it’s still one of the best fields to be in. Compare to a teacher, where you’ll need a master’s degree in most states and then you can expect a salary around 40k. Whereas with software, when you do find a job it’s not unusual to start over 100k. But if you were willing to work for half that, I bet you’d find something quick.

      CS has a pretty high unpemployment rate and that was pre-covid too. yea maybe it was meant for grad school from the sounds of it.

      They aren’t paying 100k for some fresh grad they need to train. They will pay them to train their AI models at the lowest possible price point though.
