Feb: Kyle Chapman - Getting a job in Tech in 2026
Details
Howdy Coders,
We are back in 2026, and we'll kick off the year with a session from Kyle Chapman of NTP Talent, giving the lay of the tech landscape.
If you want to find out what’s happening across tech and the types of roles that will be in demand, this is the talk for you. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for your first job, are an industry veteran looking for a change, or want to keep your finger on the pulse.
The landscape for hiring has changed a lot from the days when you could get a job offer by standing on the corner holding a sign saying "I know JavaScript". The days of ZIRP and COVID booms are behind us AI has changed the game.
This is an open event, and everyone is welcome. We'd love to have you there if you're interested in tech jobs (whether you’re at uni or you’ve been in tech since before the students were born).
We'll have free pizza and drinks thanks to our sponsors.
