The number of EE grads is going down in Europe too.

In Eastern Europe students still study it but then move to software as Web Dev pays 2x as much. In Western Europe students gave up on EE completely since since SW companies make HW ones look archaic.

No grad wants to work for us when he comes for the interview and sees only old guys. My boss has only hired Eastern Europeans, Indians and Chinese lately since he couldn't find any EE. Also, him and other companies not offering competitive wages to EE while complaining of a shortage is the true problem.

Offer competitive wages and grads will flock to this field.

This was clear 10 years ago when ee and cs salaries started diverging significantly and ee companies remained fairly stingy, even with food and drinks and perks at the workplace, let alone salaries.

It will end up costing them faaaar more than the salaries and benefits that were saved. Gg

I graduated CE and worked for 11 years with digital design and FPGAs in silicon valley. The salaries haven't kept up. I transitioned to SW and I'm not going back.
