Over the last decade, the prospect of six-figure starting salaries,perkslike free food and the chance to work on apps used by billions led young people tostampedetoward computer science — the study of computer programming and processes like algorithms — on college campuses across the United States. The number of undergraduates majoring in the subject more than tripled from 2011 to 2021, to nearly 136,000 students, according to the Computing Research Association, which tracks computing degrees at about 200 universities.

Tech giants like Facebook, Google and Microsoft encouraged the computing education boom, promoting software jobs to students as a route to lucrative careers and the power to change the world. But now, layoffs, hiring freezes and planned recruiting slowdowns at Meta, Twitter, Alphabet, Amazon, DoorDash, Lyft, Snap and Stripe are sending shock waves through a generation of computer and data science students who spent yearshoningthemselves for careers at the largest tech companies. Tech executives have blamed afalteringglobal economy for the jobs slowdown.
像脸书、谷歌以及微软这样的科技巨头推动了计算机教育的蓬勃发展，向学生营销软件工作是一种可以赚大钱的职业选择，可以拥有改变世界的力量。但如今，Meta, Twitter, Alphabet, Amazon, DoorDash, Lyft, Snap和 Stripe等各大科技公司的裁员、招聘暂停，以及计划招聘放缓正在给一代计算机和数据科学学生造成冲击，他们为了进入科技巨头公司，学习磨炼技术数年。科技高管将就业放缓归咎于摇摇欲坠的全球经济。
The cutbacks have not only sent recent graduates scrambling to find new jobs but also created uncertainty for college students seeking high-paying summer internships at large consumer tech companies. In the past, tech companies used their internship programs to recruit promising job candidates, extending offers to many students to return as full-time employees after graduation. But this year, those opportunities are shrinking.
裁员不止让最近毕业的学生找工作很棘手，而且给想要在大型消费科技公司寻找高薪的暑期实习的学生带来不确定性。过去，科技公司利用他们的实习计划招聘有潜力的求职者，给许多学生提供了毕业后可以以全职员工身份留用的邀请。但今年，这些机会正在不断缩减。
Hiring plans are also changing at smaller tech firms. Roblox, the popular game platform, said it planned to hire 300 interns for next summer — almost twice as many as this year — and was expecting more than 50,000 applications for those spots. Redfin, which employed 38 interns this summer, said it had canceled the program for next year.
小型科技公司的招聘计划也在改变。热门游戏平台Roblox表示，计划在明年夏天招聘300名实习生，几乎是今年的两倍，预计这些职位将收到5万多份申请。Redfin今年夏天雇佣了38名实习生，该公司表示已经取消了明年的实习生项目。
College career centers have becomesounding boardsfor anxious students on thecuspof entering the tech job market. In career counselors’ offices, the search for a Plan B has heightened.Some students are applying to lesser-known tech companies. Others are seeking tech jobs outside the industry, with retailers like Walmart or with government agencies and nonprofits. Graduate school is also an option.
对于正处于进入科技行业就业市场阶段的焦虑的大学生来说，大学就业中心已经成为他们的一个试探就业市场的反馈平台。在职业咨询师的办公室里，越来越多人寻找备选方案的呼声越来越高。一些学生正在申请不太知名的科技公司。其他人则在寻找行业外的技术工作，比如沃尔玛等零售商、政府机构和非营利组织。读研也是一种选择。
