Despite the bad market. While the golden age of "easy wealth" in tech might be fading, the demand for skilled developers is still there. The profession is just normalizing. Here a few factors that still make Software Engineering a π₯ option in 2024: - Accessibility: low barrier to entry compared to its rewards, with possibilities to land 100k+ roles right out of school. - Unmatched Flexibility: Software engineering allows for remote work, digital nomadism, and significant control over your work-life balance, taxation and cost of living. - Global Salary Adjustments: The gap in pay between offshore and Western developers is narrowing, making global remote work an interesting option. - Continued Digital Transformation: As every sector digitalizes, software engineers remain crucial for innovation and implementation. - AI: Rather than replacing jobs, AI and LLMs are tools that, when used by savvy developers, can open new opportunities. I think devs with social skill, entrepreneurial attitude and business savviness will continue to thrive.

Control over WLB? lmao
remote work offers more control over wlb that's facts. control doesn't mean you'll have better wlb, it means you'll be able to control it more than you would if you were sitting in an office
