Tough Job Market for College Seniors

College seniors are facing a challenging job market as major companies in tech, finance, and consulting have cut costs and reduced entry-level hiring. In contrast to previous years when seniors had multiple job offers and could land their dream jobs, these students are now struggling to get interviews and are not receiving the return offers they expected from prestigious internships. Graduating seniors are left grappling with the decision to delay recruitment by going to grad school or extending their graduation dates. The tightening job market has made it even harder for students who have had internships to compete with those who haven't.
