Stanfords Top Tech Grads Face AI-Driven Job Shortage: A Shift in the Tech IndustryRecent Stanford computer science graduates are grappling with a surprising lack of entry-level job offers from major tech companies. The rise of AI tools like ChatGPT has made experienced engineers more productive, reducing the need for juniors. This trend is not limited to Stanford, with students from other top schools also reporting similar struggles. A Stanford study shows a nearly 20% drop in employment for early-career developers aged 22-25. AI startups are hiring some, but not enough to compensate for cuts elsewhere. The situation has led students to pursue fifth-year masters programs, start their own companies, or take jobs they previously overlooked. Universities are urged to update curricula to teach AI management skills, ensuring graduates thrive alongside these powerful tools.
