As long as your parents are cool with it, you can always save up by staying with them until things get better. No shade, just truth. I did it in grad school.

Recessions come and go. Stick to your plan and keep pursuing the jobs you want. If there’s any specific tip, it’s to keep an eye on specific industries that you find interesting and search for companies, big and small, in those areas. Tech is way more than FAANG.

I would certainly keep applying! It looks like you are coming from a really great school and program, there are bound to be areas within tech that either are not hit as hard or will bounce back very quickly.

Best of luck in the job search!

Federal gov't hires all the time and it is not dependent on market conditions. You can apply through the Pathways program if you are a new grad. I did that in 2020 when all the jobs dried up.

The recession is just starting and there a bunch of layoffs. Other industries have been suffering so depending on what you're trying to do, it may actually be a great time to get in. Stay up to date on current affairs and go down the rabbit hole to find companies turning lemons into lemonade!
