Is the United Kingdom (UK) your home? Are you aware that if you want to, you can change career to software development? Here are good reasons:
In 2025, the software market in the United Kingdom is expected to generate a revenue of US$38.21bn with an annual growth rate of 6.03% from 2025 to 2029.
Despite its growth, the industry faces issues such as talent shortages and skill gaps. By 2025, the United Kingdom's digital sector is expected to employ 678,100 people, with only 465,000 software developers in the country now.
Beyond the rhetoric above, please see real-world proof below: There are presently more than 13,000 (thirteen thousand) software developer openings offered by recruiters in the UK on LinkedIn as at Jan 03, 2025:
With how prominent and well-paying these jobs are, what is stopping people from applying for them if there are so many openings? The reasons could be numerous but not limited to the following:
First of all, it would take the help of seasoned mentors to become a great software developer in the shortest period of time, and enrolling in a UK coding school could cost a fortune as full-time coding bootcamps typically cost between £6,500 and £11,000, though the precise cost will vary by region and provider.
Secondly:
Given the burden of costs/ bills in the UK, many people find it practically impossible to change careers due to the time commitment required to complete a full-time study.
