Manasi Mishra, 21, graduated from Purdue after being promised six-figure starting salaries, only to receive a single interview, at Chipotle. (She didn\u2019t get the job.) Zach Taylor has applied to nearly 6,000 tech jobs since graduating from Oregon State in 2023, landing just 13 interviews and zero offers. He was even rejected by McDonald\u2019s for \u201clack of experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The alleged culprits? AI programming eliminating junior positions, while Amazon, Meta and Microsoft slash jobs. Students say they\u2019re trapped in an \u201cAI doom loop\u201d \u2014 using AI to mass-apply while companies use AI to auto-reject them, sometimes within minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, Mishra landed a job after one cold application that worked out. It\u2019s not in software engineering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
