A CS degree from a top US college and solid coding skills, yet the only interview call is from a fast-food chain after a 4-month wait
An AI-Era Job Market Crunch Debt and Dreams: A Risky Combination — svembu (@svembu) Experts Warn Against Blindly Chasing Coding Careers Manasi Mishra graduated from the prestigious Purdue University with a computer science degree in May, a milestone she expected would open many doors in the tech industry. Growing up in California, she had nurtured a deep interest in computers from a young age. She learned coding early, built her own website while still in elementary school, and took advanced computing courses in high school. With this solid foundation and a respected degree, she was confident that finding a job in software engineering would be a natural next despite her hard work and qualifications, the reality has been disappointing. Since graduation, she has been actively seeking employment but has only received one substantial interview offer—and that was from Chipotle, a fast-food franchise. Mishra shared her frustration with The New York Times , explaining that the common belief that simply learning to code and obtaining a computer science degree guarantees a well-paying job no longer holds experience highlights a growing challenge faced by many recent graduates in the field, as job opportunities in software engineering become scarcer, especially with the rapid advances in artificial intelligence reshaping the industry struggle reflects a broader shift in the tech hiring landscape. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, unemployment rates among recent graduates in computer science and computer engineering stand at 6.1% and 7.5% respectively — among the highest for any giants like Microsoft and Amazon have cut thousands of jobs while embracing AI-powered coding tools that can automate large parts of a developer's work. This has left many entry-level programmers competing for fewer openings, often without the industry's once-reliable safety net of abundant junior founder Sridhar Vembu has also sounded the alarm on the risks students face in today's uncertain job market. In a recent post on X, he described a case of a student who borrowed ₹70 lakh ($80,000) at 12% annual interest to study at a lesser-known US university — only to find IT job opportunities scarce.'I urge students and parents to be cautious in borrowing heavily to pursue degrees abroad,' Vembu wrote, warning that both in India and overseas, saddling young graduates with high-interest loans can leave them trapped without stable employment. He urged companies to invest in training and skill development instead of relying solely on formal Indian Minister of State for Electronics, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, recently advised students to rethink their approach. Quoting Elon Musk and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, he said in the AI era, physics, mathematics, and conceptual thinking will matter more than routine coding skills. 'As AI tools become more capable of writing and debugging code, the value of basic programming skills is decreasing,' he wrote, urging students to focus on problem-solving and scientific Manasi, the contrast is stark: top-class education, strong skills, and passion for coding — yet only a fast-food interview after months of searching. Her story is becoming increasingly common in a tech industry reshaped by automation, AI, and the past, a degree from a leading US university was seen as a ticket to a well-paying, secure role. Now, it is a reminder that even the best credentials may not guarantee a career in a sector where the rules are rapidly being rewritten.

Giant Wyoming data center to guzzle 5x more power than residents, but the user remains secret
Wyoming AI data center power consumption: A huge AI data center is planned in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It needs massive power, more than all Wyoming homes use. The center will have its own power source. The user is secret, but some speculate it is OpenAI. Experts think it will house advanced AI hardware. The project could affect Wyoming's energy landscape and utility prices. Tired of too many ads?

Remove Ads Is OpenAI Behind the Project? Experts Predict High-Performance AI Hardware Inside Facility Potential Ripple Effects on Utility Prices and Energy Exports Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads FAQs A massive new AI data center planned for Cheyenne, Wyoming, is making waves, not just because of its massive power requirements, but also due to the mystery surrounding who will actually use it, as per a proposed facility, a joint project between energy company Tallgrass and AI data center developer Crusoe, is expected to start with a power draw of 1.8 gigawatts, with the potential to scale up to 10 gigawatts, as reported by TechRadar. To put that in perspective, that's over five times the electricity used by every household in Wyoming combined, according to the to the huge energy demand, this new data center won't be tapping into the public power grid, as per TechRadar. Instead, the developers will reportedly build a dedicated energy supply, likely a mix of natural gas and renewable sources, to run the facility independently, according to the report. That might ease concerns about local blackouts, but it hasn't quieted all READ: Disney+ cancels Goosebumps series after two seasons: What's next for the horror anthology? Adding intrigue to the project is the complete secrecy about the end user, as per the TechRadar report. While neither Tallgrass nor Crusoe has confirmed who the data center is being built for, speculation is are many speculations that point to OpenAI as the likely tenant as the AI giant has a history with Crusoe, recently teaming up for facility in Texas, described as the 'largest data center' in the world, as reported by TechRadar. That project reportedly draws about a gigawatt of energy, which is part of OpenAI's broader 'Stargate' initiative, according to the has also been public about plans to build several gigawatts of data center capacity in the near future, but has not announced any presence in Wyoming so far, as per the TechRadar report.

SBI halts Nayara transactions over US tariffs, sanctions risk
Synopsis State Bank of India has ceased processing trade and foreign currency transactions for Nayara Energy due to potential US sanctions following recent tariff increases. This decision aims to prevent SBI from facing US and European Union restrictions. The move follows EU sanctions restricting Russian fuel imports and a price cap on Russian crude, impacting banks with international operations. Reuters State Bank of India (SBI) has stopped processing trade and foreign currency transactions of Nayara Energy over potential sanctions after US tariff increases late last month. The bank took the call to ensure it doesn't invite US and European Union curbs, a person familiar with the issue said."This call has been taken by the bank very recently after the US sanctions to ensure compliance with international rules," said the person cited above. "There has been no government direction, but every bank has to take a call on how to deal with these issues and SBI has done so."In August 2017, a consortium lead by Russian oil major Rosneft acquired Essar Oil's 20 mtpa Vadinar refinery and renamed it as Nayara Energy. The company imports crude oil from overseas and currently has a market share of about 8% of India's refining output that, at more than over 256 MMTPA, is the second largest in Asia. Nayara also has more than 6,500 fuel pumps across the like Reliance Industries, imports crude from abroad and refines it into usable fuel like petrol and diesel for markets in Europe and Middle East besides of course selling it in company's problems started earlier in July when the European Union implemented its 18th sanctions package against Russia, restricting fuel imports from the Russian market and introducing a $47.6 per barrel price cap on Russian crude. "These European sanctions imposed on July 18 were the last straw. All banks with international branches and operations have to adhere to the government laws to ensure that they do not attract regulatory scrutiny," said the person cited above. "The last European sanctions along with the US tariffs imposed after that have made the processing of transactions for Nayara difficult."
