Build your career as a Django developer
Software development is one of the few areas that has experienced constant growth in the last decade, and despite the pandemic, the worldwide developer population grew by 500,000 in 2020. Another added benefit of being a software developer is that there are possibilities for flexible and remote working arrangements, due to the work being all computer-based.
