Patrick’s Answer

I believe that a career in software engineering can be very rewarding. Our world is powered by software. Even if you choose not to stay in software engineering for your entire career, it is an excellent way to start out. In my experience, being a software developer teaches you how to think differently. It shows you how to break down complex problems and apply creative solutions. This has helped me tremendously in my career and I would recommend software development to anyone who is somewhat technically inclined. Today, I work in a sales position, but I started as a software developer.

Patrick recommends the following next steps:

Davor’s Answer

While pretty much everyone is looking at software developers, really high demand is for good QA engineers (testers). It requires a lot of systematic work and creativity.


Security is also in very high demand and is increasing.


Analytics and mobile are growing fast.


Anything related to open source also...

RImike (Yema)’s Answer

Hi Shawn,


I have noticed that there is a lot of demand in the areas of Data Analytics and Cloud Computing as well as Open Source.
The nice thing is that as a Computer Engineer, you can span several areas with a combination of skills and with a willingness to continue learning, you can always move from one area to another as you advance through your career.


Thanks
Yema
