1. Do you think software engineering is becoming oversaturated? Would you advise prospective CS majors to look into more hardware side of things. 2. What are your thoughts on the importance or profitability cybersecurity roles with the current trends in industry? How big a market

Hey,
1. It's oversaturated for entry level and not for experienced engineers. My personal approach here isn't to choose the markable area but to win in your best area. Whatever is your 10X area you have raw passion for and want to do the most, do that, and then outwork 99% of your peers to be the person that stands out in that area.
2. I don't know enough about the latest cybersecurity roles, other than just reading the reports that it's in demand :P. I'm not seeing changes in demand at the FAANG companies (it always was in demand!). If you are considering bootcamps and just want to get into tech and not necessarily be a SWE, I would strongly look into it - don't listen to marketing - actually dig into it and considering it.
