Grüezi r/Switzerland I got my Bachelors degree in Computer Science in October 2025 and despite 180+ job applications I’ve only managed to secure two on-site job interviews and ended up being rejected anyways. There always seems to be someone better. I do have to say I was quite surprised by the rough job market, I was always told that computer scientists were in high demand. The reality however is much more nuanced: Yes, there are lots of vacant roles online but the majority of them look for seniors. Even supposedly entry-level jobs require years of experience these days which poses a conundrum for graduates like me with no job experience. Yes there are internships, but only a few and the number of applicants make the chance of even landing an internship improbable. I’ve only been in touch with some of my fellow graduates and they seem to struggle as well, but I attributed this to some of them not really speaking German that well. Me on the other hand I grew up here, schwzyerdütsch is my first language if you will, and still nothing. I’m seriously wondering whether something’s wrong with me. There’s all this talk about AI taking over the job market and I’m wondering whether it’s worth trying anymore. Are you a recent CS graduate who’s struggling as well? Let me know how your job search has been so far. Maybe you landed a role and got some insights? Thanks! submitted by /u/Delicious_Price7210
