Companies are also taking the industry in a different direction, choosing to use artificial intelligence or hire abroad since both are cheaper. Educational attainment also matters, with bootcamp graduates most sidelined as hiring managers view curriculums as incomplete and generic.
Despite the doom and gloom, those with the right strategies can still find opportunities in an uncertain market. Join software engineer and career coach Phong Lam for an educational session where he'll share how aspiring and experienced software engineers can be successful in today's software engineering market. He'll share:

- Where the opportunities lie in software engineering today.

- What software engineering candidates can do to stand out, including building their personal brand, position their experience, or look for new roles.
