What makes you think CS grads would be good candidates for a high stress job that requires excellent communication skills?

    Ability to rapidly process information and react to changes.

    Communication is a learned skill.

    Ability to handle stress and thrive under pressure is the key.

      I don’t think your average tech worker has any notion of what stress is, unless you’re consistently on-call overnight. Even then, it’s not the same.

      This isn’t meant to belittle or scoff at people’s lived experiences, but the difference between “if I get this wrong, my company will lose millions of dollars” and “if I get this wrong, hundreds of people die” is VAST.
