It's the year. I had cold applications too and worked in 2022. And I wasn't a UC Berkeley graduate which I believe is very well-know Computer Science school.

I think the problem is not that the new grads are not applying. They simply are not getting a chance. It's not a matter of choosing between F500 and startups.
