Does a Senior's Advice Actually Help?

2026-04-05StudVent Team

Seniors can be a great resource, but what happens when they give bad advice? Many students say they will 'Research it myself before deciding' if a senior tells them a technology is useless.

The truth is, the tech landscape moves so fast that advice from a 4th-year student might already be outdated by the time you're a 1st-year student. Always take advice with a grain of salt. Cross-reference their opinions with job boards and industry blogs to see what companies are actually hiring for right now.
