The future of software
Software engineering is the new “doctoring” or “lawyering” – it’s the kind of smart career that parents love, with steady projected growth and lucrative salaries. And as daily life becomes increasingly shaped by software, the need for talented people to engineer our future has only gone up. 
To meet this increase in demand, more people are jumping on the programming bandwagon. Nowadays it seems like every job out there requires at least a little bit of coding experience. What was once a highly specialized skill is becoming the new literacy. 
What does that mean for the future of software engineering jobs? Some recent shakeups in software engineering have made newcomers to the tech world worried that the demand for software engineers will only go down in the future. For example, there’s the increase in popularity of low-code and no-code solutions that some are saying will completely replace the need for software developers, as well as shifts in the software development process. Companies like IBM are no longer hiring huge teams of engineers that focus on one thing, like testing or quality assurance. Startups and tech giants alike are now hiring small and agile teams of full-stack developers. 
Despite these fears, the future of software engineering jobs looks bright. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 22% increase in software developer jobs between 2020 and 2030. To put that number in perspective, the average growth rate for all professions is just 8% for that same time period.
There’s no denying that there are some massive shifts occurring in the world of software engineering, but don’t switch your major from computer science just yet! If you’re smart about what skills you develop and how you position yourself in the job market, these shifts represent exciting opportunities. 
Read on for some software engineering trends that will only grow in the near future, and how you can pivot to keep up with the times for a recession-proof career in the software industry.
