About This Video

In this video I’m talking about the question I keep seeing everywhere: where are the entry-level tech jobs right now, and why does it feel impossible to land one. Since last year we’ve been in a “tech recession” where hiring slowed down and layoffs happened, so the fear is understandable. If you look at the trend lines, open roles dropped a lot from the pandemic peak (roughly ~500k down to ~300k), which sounds scary—until you also factor in how much the supply of candidates has grown. I break down how the number of relevant grads (CS, software engineering, IT) has jumped more than 50% in just a few years—going from about 50–60k grads to closer to 100k, and that number could still be rising. Add layoffs (including a meaningful portion in the US) plus bootcamp/certificate candidates, and you get a much more competitive entry-level market. My biggest advice: if you don’t have relevant experience, this is not the time to blindly spend big money on paid bootcamps/certificates expecting them to “guarantee” a job. Instead, build leverage with open source, personal projects, freelancing gigs, contracting roles, and internships—because those are the paths that create real experience you can point to while the market recalibrates and AI’s impact plays out.
