It’s not just grads. I have 1 open senior position, 100 applicants. A good 10% of them with 15+ years of experience have had no job in the last year, or have things like “Amazon fulfillment center” as their most recent job. Shits rough if you find yourself laid off or if the company you’re working for went out of business.
Did I apply to your position as that sounds like me. Just passed the one year point.
I've been out of tech work for near as long as I have career experience.
Each day feels another nail in the coffin of those 6 years of education.
I don't regret my education. My major wanted to get out of LAS the way engineering did and im so glad it was an LAS degree as I feel it is a much better foundation.
LAS?
