MIT CS和數學double major的

That fall, when Meta announced 11,000 layoffs, the company didn’t exclude its high-achieving interns. “They laid off everyone who just started, including those who got the highest ratings during their internships,” Xie says. That included MIT grads just ahead of her on the conveyor belt, which has, over the past decade, regularly brought new talent into the industry.

 

Claire Ralph, director of career services at Caltech, where about 40 percent of graduates go on to work in tech fields, has found herself counseling students worried by the recent retrenchment. “Caltech students are high achieving, and so they are often anxious. Certainly the news is the focus of their anxiety right now,” says Ralph, who also lectures in computer science. 

Eva Xie did it right. She went to the highly competitive Bronx High School of Science in New York City and then MIT, where she studied math and computer science with a specialization in artificial intelligence. After her first year, she landed a coveted summer internship at Facebook and was invited back to Menlo Park the next summer—traditionally a good sign that a student would later be offered a full-time job.

But in summer 2022, warning signs appeared that Xie’s future might be derailed from its well-charted trajectory. Rumors swirled inside the company that Meta, as it was now known, might institute a hiring freeze. Xie and her fellow interns weren’t worried, assuming the established pipeline that saw the company take its pick of students from elite colleges was a permanent fixture.

The interns were wrong. In an early morning email last August, Xie and the rest of her overachieving cohort became among the first to be affected by a wave of hiring freezes and layoffs in tech that would go on to claim hundreds of thousands of jobs over the coming months. Meta was sorry to inform them, the email said, that unlike previous years, it would not be extending successful interns guaranteed return offers of full-time jobs before they went back to school.

所有跟帖： 

• 還是做startup比較好，不會被裁員。可惜做的人太少，名校應該投資給自己學生做startup -mjnew- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/03/2023 postreply 08:23:34

• 這裏很多人說，名校娃都去startup，不去大廠。不知道為啥還報道這些人被layoff，不應該發生的事情，也許比例比較低 -mjnew- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/03/2023 postreply 08:28:19

• Startups和大公司都幹過，經濟不好時startups一般是更不穩定，更容易被layoff, 而且package一般 -notjames- ♂ (131 bytes) () 02/03/2023 postreply 09:36:38
