hey guys welcome back Luca here and

play00:02

today I just want to talk about do I

play00:04

think software engineers oversaturated

play00:05

and what do I think the future looks

play00:08

like for software Engineers so as we can

play00:10

clearly see more and more companies are

play00:13

still laying people off recently alencia

play00:15

also announced a layoff on many fan

play00:17

companies is also getting ready for a

play00:20

second round of layouts so it really

play00:22

seems to me that knowledge industry

play00:24

isn't doing really really well so what

play00:26

might be some of the reasons behind it

play00:28

so if we look back before the pandemic

play00:31

we can clearly see there was a the

play00:33

consumers transition into a new consumer

play00:36

behaviors and many companies sell this

play00:38

as opportunities and many companies

play00:41

believe that these consumer habits are

play00:43

here to stay

play00:44

as we can clearly see there were many

play00:47

pandemic stocks that was so popular so

play00:50

high but now you know they dropped 80 90

play00:53

in value some of the notable ones that

play00:55

was really popular during the pandemic

play00:57

were like Doom Shopify these companies

play01:00

benefit tremendously and because of that

play01:02

many other bigger companies saw it as

play01:04

opportunities for themselves as well if

play01:07

you look at the number of employees at

play01:09

some of these fan companies for example

play01:11

Facebook Google Amazon a lot of these

play01:14

companies almost doubled in size and

play01:17

many of them are probably software

play01:19

engineers and that just shows these

play01:22

companies took let's say 10 20 years in

play01:25

their company's lifespan to grow until

play01:27

the pandemic level but it only took them

play01:30

until 2022 to double and you know that's

play01:34

that's already something that's bizarre

play01:35

of course at the time many people were

play01:37

saying like oh these are the golden

play01:39

times of software Engineers like we have

play01:41

so much shortage there's so many

play01:43

different fields new abilities because

play01:46

consumers were looking into these new

play01:48

forms of like how they want to spend

play01:50

their money online shopping becomes more

play01:52

popular online streaming platforms but

play01:55

now the pandemic is officially pretty

play01:57

much over and because of that consumers

play02:00

actually shifted back into some of their

play02:02

pre-pandemic behaviors now they don't

play02:04

have to stay home as much they want to

play02:06

travel there's all this Revenge

play02:08

traveling and a lot of those don't

play02:10

involve necessarily these new behaviors

play02:12

that they picked up during the pandemic

play02:14

so now all these bigger companies have

play02:17

these projects that they put in so much

play02:19

money into and suddenly there's no

play02:22

longer a need or a consumer it kind of

play02:24

makes sense why these companies decide

play02:26

all right we have to like this

play02:29

department go but this also brings up to

play02:31

my first question do I think software

play02:33

Engineers over saturated like do I think

play02:35

there's so many too many software

play02:37

Engineers I can definitely see a case

play02:39

for that for example all these bigger

play02:41

tech companies doubled in size and over

play02:44

the past six months so many people got

play02:46

laid off 100K plus and a big percentage

play02:49

of them were software Engineers that

play02:52

means in the market there's like 80k 90k

play02:56

even 100K like software engineers not to

play03:00

include the graduates of 2022 and the

play03:03

new grads from 2023 a lot of those are

play03:07

also software Engineers who are seeking

play03:09

entry-level positions and based on

play03:11

Research done in the down before the

play03:13

pandemic every year there's about 65 000

play03:17

new grads with a computer science degree

play03:20

and that just shows like 2023 we're

play03:22

probably going to see something similar

play03:24

but now the market is also full of these

play03:27

software Engineers but now the big tech

play03:29

companies are hiring and the small

play03:31

companies can only hire so much so

play03:34

clearly there is a surplus of these

play03:37

software engineers and the demand is now

play03:39

very high so now clearly we have this

play03:42

unbalance of the supply is really really

play03:44

high and the demand is not us High

play03:47

so that means yes I do think as of now

play03:50

like there's definitely a surplus of

play03:52

software Engineers but software engineer

play03:54

is very broad terms a lot of these

play03:56

companies are still hiring very

play03:57

specialized software Engineers such as

play03:59

machine learning or even data science so

play04:02

some of these more specialized fields

play04:04

are still happy opportunities but again

play04:07

it's a smaller percentage of these

play04:10

software engineers and one thing that

play04:11

also become popular back in the day I

play04:14

would say like before the pandemic was

play04:16

like a lot of more people came to

play04:19

realization of oh

play04:21

to be a software engineer I don't even

play04:23

need to study computer science I can

play04:25

simply go to one of those boot camps or

play04:28

some sort of full stack boot camp and by

play04:31

finishing the course

play04:33

build my own portfolio I can find the

play04:35

six figure jobs right out of boot camp

play04:37

like you know that becomes more popular

play04:40

before the pandemic or switching into

play04:42

computer science very easily because

play04:44

they can do really well in these boot

play04:46

camps for example where students may not

play04:48

necessarily have as much of Hands-On

play04:50

experiences and that again is another

play04:52

way of becoming software engineer so if

play04:55

you look at the market right now you

play04:57

have people who were affected by the

play04:59

recent layoffs who have experience in

play05:01

software engineering you have people who

play05:03

have been graduated since the pandemic

play05:05

am I still looking for an entry level

play05:06

job you have people who are about to

play05:08

graduate in 2023 who's looking for a job

play05:11

and you have people who finished

play05:13

bootcamp who are also looking for a job

play05:15

so clearly right now the market is very

play05:18

very competitive and it's definitely not

play05:20

very easy to find a job

play05:22

and clearly when there's a surplus in

play05:25

Supply power is in the people who are

play05:27

hiring now they can offer less amount of

play05:30

pay while attracting higher tier talents

play05:33

people with more experiences for example

play05:35

now a company when they hire you entry

play05:37

level they might even consider hiring a

play05:39

senior level for one of these bigger

play05:41

tech companies and they can afford them

play05:44

now because they might be willing to

play05:46

take a pay cut just to keep a job so of

play05:49

course right now it's definitely not

play05:51

looking good to be a software engineer

play05:53

so if you watch some of my other videos

play05:55

I am still very passionate and

play05:58

optimistic about the tech in the long

play06:00

term but however right now there's a

play06:02

huge Surplus until the day that we know

play06:06

for a fact these bigger tech companies

play06:07

recovers or decide to resume hiring then

play06:12

up until that point the Surplus is real

play06:15

and if you are someone who considering

play06:17

going into Tech right now and if you are

play06:20

expecting to go into attack and start

play06:22

working in Tech immediately I would say

play06:25

right now it's probably not the best

play06:26

time but if you are someone who's still

play06:28

in school and graduating maybe in the

play06:30

future like two years three years then

play06:33

at that time maybe the economy is

play06:35

already looking better and now there's

play06:37

new Fields with all these introductions

play06:40

applied AI new products new features new

play06:43

Fields will come out and there will be

play06:46

new projects especially at these big

play06:48

attack companies they're going to start

play06:49

looking into these fields as well and

play06:51

they're going to start you know hiring

play06:52

and competing for talents again so I

play06:54

would say in the short term

play06:56

it's not looking too hard to be a

play06:58

software engineer and there's definitely

play07:01

a surplus but in the longer run we don't

play07:04

know like most I believe most likely we

play07:06

will see some sort of slow recovery and

play07:10

maybe in another 10 years we'll see a

play07:13

golden time for attack again so yeah

play07:15

thank you so much for watching guys I

play07:17

hope this was informative let me know if

play07:19

you would like me to comment on anything

play07:21

else

play07:22

play07:24
