Every industry in the U.S., including the technology industry and software engineering, has been affected by the labor crisis. Because of higher productivity and labor cost inflation of up to 3.5%, analysts from Insider predict salaries to expand by roughly 5% year over year by the end of 2022. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for everyone who is or wants to be a software developer.

In Mexico, about 160,000 engineers graduate each year. Mexico has become a powerhouse of software engineering expertise in Latin America, with a talent pool of over 700,000 engineers according to Forbes.
