Software engineering is the fastest growing occupation in US (expected to grow 26% from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average of any other occupation based on the data provided by US Bureau of Labor Statistics). The number of employees in the big tech companies increased at a much higher rate in the last 3 years (from 2016 to 2019, Microsoft: 114k → 144k, Google: 72k → 103k, Facebook: 17k → 35k based on the data provided by www.statista.com) However, the number of college graduates who hold a CS degree is not keeping up with this rate, and therefore for almost all of the big tech companies in the Silicon Valley, hiring is one of the top goals. We believe, with the right guidance there is a huge potential in Turkey to meet part of this constantly growing demand in software engineering talent.
