Who has no place left in IT. What to do if you were laid off, and how to build a career in 2026

January 6
6 PM PST / 9 PM EST

Speaker: Viktor Bogutskii

The IT market has changed a great deal. Companies are streamlining processes, letting teams go and automating work, and many specialists feel the uncertainty. But the truth is that the place has genuinely disappeared only for those who stayed with the old model of working.

In this candid session Viktor will cover:

What is happening in IT right now

  • why companies cut staff before they hire;
  • who is genuinely finding it harder to compete;
  • which roles are disappearing, and which are becoming critical.

What to do if you were laid off or fear it

  • how to stay in the industry;
  • how to refresh your skills quickly and come back to the market stronger;
  • what to study first to be in demand in 2026.

Above all, how to build a durable career

  • the path of a specialist who does not depend on a single company;
  • skills that hold their value even as the market shifts;
  • how to use AI to increase your value and earn more.

If you want to understand where IT is heading, and how not merely to hold on but to grow in the new reality, join us. This session will help you regain clarity, confidence and a strategy.
