All companies — not just Silicon Valley giants — are evolving into tech companies, and demand is growing steadily for software engineers who can creatively solve problems and implement robust, sustainable solutions. In fact, Harvey Nash and KPMG found that 67% of the tech leaders surveyed reported an inability to recruit the tech talent they need. Regardless of your professional background, there's ample opportunity to carve a fulfilling — and future-proof — tech career path.
