Applying for tech jobs or internships? We want to hear about it.

Layoffs and hiring freezes at companies like Amazon and Meta are changing the job market for recent graduates and college students. Tell us about your experiences.

November was a dark month for tech workers. Meta, Amazon, Lyft, Stripe and Twitter have laid off thousands of employees. Microsoft and Google have announced hiring slowdowns.

The hiring cuts and freezes haven't just hit veteran employees. Some tech companies have laid off recent college graduates or rescinded their job offers. Some companies are also reducing their summer internship programs for college students next year.

The industry downturn is sending shockwaves through a generation of computer science and data science students who have spent years preparing for careers at top tech companies. Many recent graduates and college seniors are now seeking tech jobs outside of the tech industry, in industries such as retail, banking, and finance.

I am a technology journalist at the New York Times who studies the societal impacts of technological innovations and the business practices of technology companies. And I'm reporting a story about the implications of the industry's employment slowdown for people starting out in tech careers.

If you're a student or a recent graduate applying for internships or technical jobs, I'd love to hear from you.
