Is Software Engineering Over Saturated? A Look Into the Uncertain Future of the Field
Examining the oversaturation of the software engineering market and the uncertain future for job seekers.
00:00:00 The video discusses whether software engineering is oversaturated and the future outlook for software engineers as companies lay off employees due to changing consumer behaviors.
🤔 The software engineering industry may be oversaturated due to recent layoffs and downsizing in many companies.
📉 Consumer behaviors have shifted during the pandemic, causing a decrease in value for certain popular stocks.
👥 Smaller companies taking advantage of new consumer habits created opportunities for larger companies in the software engineering industry.
00:01:07 The software engineering field experienced rapid growth during the pandemic, but now faces changes as consumer behavior shifts back to pre-pandemic patterns.
📈 Many top tech companies have doubled in size, indicating rapid growth in the software engineering industry.
⏰ The software engineering industry experienced a period of high demand and shortage during the pandemic, but consumer behaviors have shifted back to pre-pandemic norms.
00:02:14 Examining the saturation of software engineering jobs due to layoffs and increasing number of graduates, questioning the future demand for software engineers.
Software engineering market is becoming saturated with an excess of engineers.
Bigger tech companies have increased in size while laying off many software engineers.
The number of new computer science graduates each year further contributes to the saturation.
00:03:22 Software engineering market saturated with surplus supply of engineers but high demand for specialized roles like machine learning and data science.
💡 There is currently an oversupply of software engineers in the job market.
💼 Big tech companies are hiring a limited number of software engineers, causing an imbalance in supply and demand.
🔍 Specialized software engineering fields like machine learning and data science still have job opportunities.
00:04:31 The software engineering market is competitive, making it difficult to find a job. Companies can offer lower pay while attracting experienced candidates.
💼 The software engineering market is currently very competitive, making it difficult to find a job.
👨💻 There are multiple paths to becoming a software engineer, including boot camps and traditional education.
💰 Due to the surplus of software engineering talent, companies can offer lower salaries but attract more experienced candidates.
00:05:39 The software engineering job market is currently saturated, with a surplus of engineers. It may not be the best time to enter the field, but future opportunities may arise with the introduction of new technologies and projects.
📉 Currently, being a software engineer is not looking good due to a surplus of professionals in the field.
🎓 If you are considering going into tech and starting work immediately, it may not be the best time.
⏰ However, if you are still in school and graduating in the future, the economy may be better and new opportunities may arise.
00:06:48 The future of software engineering job market is uncertain, with short-term oversupply but potential for recovery in the long run.
In the short term, being a software engineer may not be difficult due to a surplus of talent.
However, in the longer run, there may be a slow recovery and a potential golden time for software engineering in about 10 years.
