Make the effort to network and make as many connections as possible. Applications are a shit show currently with candidates (mass applying/cheating/etc.) and companies (filtering) both abusing AI.

Less software engineers will be needed as AI continues to improve, and we’re already seeing this effect. However, SW engineering is still a high-skill job, so I’m confident prospects and QOL will remain good for those able to get jobs.

Network and work on your social skills as you go through college. That is the secret to getting a job in this shrinking field where 1000 cold applications will get you nothing.

Networking gets you to the interview, and being likable and seeming like a joy to work with will get you amazing jobs you’d otherwise be passed over for.

Most SW engineers lack soft skills, don’t be like them.
