Venting because every CS major I know spent all of college chasing behind big-tech FAANG companies. Now the only companies giving return offers are these other tech companies whose lines were empty at the career fair in 2022 like Atlassian, Uber, DoorDash. The lines for Apple, Meta, Amazon had people waiting for 2-3 hours. It’s a long cold winter for new grads. #Apple #Meta #amazon
I cannot believe that lines for Atlassian uber and doordash were empty. All 3 of these are right in line with FAANG in terms of pay and benefits. (Yes even Atlassian pays pretty well for entry level roles)
Seriously, how are these tier-2 tech companies handing out return offers My team at Apple has no headcount to return. My roommate at Amazon didn't get a return. Most of my other friends are struggling now too. If I knew FAANG wasn't giving returns, I would of had a better social life instead of worrying about interviewing
We're a Tier (-)1 company in the high-tech aerospace industry. We've been sending $100K-$300K base offers out to Associate through Principal, and onboarded like a ~100 LDP hires in the last 24 months. Hard to explain but perhaps it's due to our scale. At the same time, your entire iPhone revenue is more than the $26B we brought in last year. Nothing has to make sense bro
Simple answer is all these big companies leaders except apple thought post covid tech boom is permanent and hired for the FUTURE*. So these big companies thought they will eat the big pie of the future.. Then inflatiom happened, then WFH started disappeared, things started to just became normal like pre covid.. hence each of these companies overhired than what is in there for the future. Apple has always been cautious since covid to hire and continuing the same.
To be fair, these companies are large and don’t have 2024 headcount figured out yet. To be optimistic, they haven’t confirmed no return offers.
