Agree with this. There are also still lots of companies hiring CS grads. They just aren't paying FAANG level comps. Kind of strange to hear people say they're going to pivot into being a garbage man if they can't get the $200k+ TC straight out of school.

Being a developer for $80K+bonus is a lot better than $16.50 per hour for being a translator... although I've interviewed a few recent grads that had so much debt the first $60K/year they made would be vaporized by paying the loan.
