Despite rounds of layoffs and growing economic concerns, software engineer learning and development budgets have yet to be impacted.
Just 16% of learning and skills development budgets have been cut over the past six months, according to a survey of 500 software engineers across the globe, including 350 engineering managers, conducted by LeadDev in March.
In fact, 56% of respondents had the same budget available for learning and skills development as six months before, and 7% had more. Another 14% didn’t have a dedicated budget for skills development and 7% weren’t sure.
Those trends were pretty consistent across Europe, the United States, and the rest of the world.
