When I was there age I was making 300k doing my paper route and 120k helping the milkman load the truck. These kids don't want to work anymore
Life is not always certain, in fact it never is! Adapt, or you will lose out! There are tons of other options than big-tech.
They will have to do what many of us did fresh out of college, take a different job until market opens up. It's not a death sentence and their skills aren't somehow less marketable. It's just back to an employer vs employee market for now so less jobs, and stricter candidate competition. This is like recession economics 101 stuff but instead of you spending loss on durable and premium goods...employers are holding back as much hiring, and trying to sit on more liquid assets. Give it 1-3 years and that engineering talent will be back in demand. I've worked MANY jobs not engineering when recession hit. No one is immune but market in time will course correct yet again.
can you post non-paywall
Gen X and Boomers have so much privilege
Haha! They didn’t make the salaries you made right out of college! They gave weathered more recessions than you have!

Big tech is not the only player. Join startups and go after big tech market share.
