It's a tough market for software engineers right now, with fewer open roles. Hiring managers have their pick of candidates, and standing out is harder than ever. Companies are also taking the industry in a different direction, choosing to use artificial intelligence or hire abroad since both are cheaper. Educational attainment also matters, with bootcamp graduates most sidelined as hiring managers view curriculums as incomplete and generic.

Despite the doom and gloom, those with the right strategies can still find opportunities in an uncertain market including the usage of AI. Join software engineer and career coach Phong Lam for an educational session where he'll share how he landed his latest job in August 2025 in just 3 weeks with the help of AI, despite being a bootcamp graduate.

You will learn:

• Why the software engineering market has become so uncertain.
• Where the opportunities lie in software engineering today.
• How software engineers can master the interview process, including identifying the patterns in questions, versus doing hours of leetcode, overcome the ambiguity of. interviews, and prepare.
• What software engineering candidates can do to stand out, including building their personal brand, position their experience, or look for new roles.
• What bootcamp graduates can do to go beyond what they've learned in their programs and become hireable software engineers.
• How software engineers can use AI in their job search to get opportunities faster.
• And much more!

Come with your questions and scenarios!
