And this turned out to be much more than just another conversation about IT.
It’s the kind of discussion that stays with you long after it ends — making you think about where the industry, education, and the market itself are heading.
Together with Oleh Dykyi and Dmytro Yevimchuk, we speak honestly about:
— what is happening in IT right now and whether there are more opportunities today
— how the market has changed over the past few years
— why it has become so difficult for trainees and juniors to enter companies
— why businesses now expect far more skills from young specialists
— what role education should play in all of this
We also discuss current figures and trends within the Ukrainian tech ecosystem:
📊 today, Ukraine has 2,243 active verified IT companies
📊 Ukraine now ranks 42nd in the Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2025 and continues rebuilding its position within the global tech ecosystem
A very honest, deep, and inspiring conversation — without toxic positivity or “success stories for the sake of success,” but with a realistic взгляд at today’s IT market and its future.
