What is software engineering?
Software engineering is a branch of computer science that focuses on the design and development of computer systems and application software.
Software engineers are experts in programming languages, software development, and operating systems and they use engineering principles to create software.

Who are software Developers?
Software developers are experts in programming languages and software development, and they use engineering techniques to produce software.

Everyone seems to desire to pursue a profession in software engineering, therefore it appears that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. The competition is fierce since major corporations like FAANG are actively recruiting for software engineers.

What are programming languages?

A programming language is a type of computer language that programmers use to create software applications, scripts, or other collections of instructions that are executed by computers.

Today, hundreds of programming languages are in use. Some are immensely popular, while others have fallen out of favour.
Knowing many programming languages can be intimidating for a programmer, but it can also bring a feeling of pride.

Choosing what to specialise in can be a difficult decision for both new and seasoned coders who want to keep on top of the newest IT developments.

What are FAANG companies?
The abbreviation FAANG stands for Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google, the top five tech corporations. They're all headquartered in the US. These businesses are enormous in terms of wealth.

Let’s see what Saumya, who herself is an Associate Software Engineer at Red Hat, has to say about what a life of a SWE looks like and what they have to deal with on a daily basis.
