any EEs in here who can give a status report on the industry in general? especially in regards to hiring junior EEs
already have an offer so i'm not personally all that worried about the immediate future, but i'm seeing a lot of talk on the Internet about college kids going into EE instead of CS because of AI fucking everything up and hardware's supposedly good job security. it's a relatively small field, so any increase in its popularity is quite concerning, at least to me.
how likely is it that the industry will get raped by a glut of new grads? conventional wisdom says they'll wash out of any ABET program pretty quick, but i've seen some pretty retarded people stumble out of college with a full EE degree. i know from first-hand experience that interviews from new grads are very easy compared to the insanity that is CS interviews; think leetcode, OAs, AI interviews, and whatever other bullshit they're using to filter out jeets for CS, vs one or two simple textbook problems and maybe a technical question about your project experience on the EE side, which doesn't seem like it'll be enough to protect my job if EE is really on the path to getting jeeted up.
i dont know, maybe im just biased but i feel like bad times are ahead for any juniors EEs, and perhaps anyone working in the industry as a whole
