lazowska · x · 2026-11-11
University of Washington's Allen School pushed back on the "CS degrees are doomed in the AI era" narrative. A survey of its latest bachelor's and fifth-year master's graduates (94% response rate) found nearly 80% secured tech industry full-time jobs or enrolled in grad school within 4 months — nearly identical to the previous class.
The 2026 cohort landed jobs at 150 distinct tech companies, with Amazon the top destination. School leaders Magdalena Balazinska and Dan Grossman argue that despite layoff headlines, graduate outcome data tells a far more nuanced and positive story.
