How do you think next year will be around March for a graduate? Obviously no one has a crystal ball just curious as you seem to have a bit more knowledge of the market.

I can't say anything other than we'll know more once this fall's hiring seasons is done , and I'm talking about like BIG TECH... I have less of a strong pulse on all the non-tech companies, like agencies, and basically companies that don't have equity/RSUs/options/etc... I see people get offers there, just can't speak confidently to those. So what happens right now is a company has like say 100 new grad headcount, and they are dividing targets up per school, like 20 from Stanford, 20 from MIT, etc... And the recruiters go off and try to hit those numbers. But the students have lots of offers and might not just go to the company 100%, so after all the dust settles, we'll see in the new year how many slots are left AND if new slots are added or not. I do think there is an oversupply of new grads so even if there are some left over slots from this fall after the dust settles they will just go to a second round of people who fell through the cracks at these top schools in the fall. But if headcount suddenly increased, then they might be scrambling to get new grads in for spring start dates and maybe some bootcamp grads can squeeze in. Sorry, a bit rambly, but just giving some insights into how this works so it's less of a mystery.
