Returning to work shouldn't be a challenge for experienced software engineersโ€”but it often is. The tech industry, hiring managers, companiesโ€”we all need to step up our game.

A career break shouldnโ€™t mean the end of your tech career. Companies, take note: supporting engineers in their return benefits everyone.

This week, our amazing Career and Mindset Lead, Mili, visited our current TR4 programme returners at our hiring partner Deutsche Bank's London office.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Here's what she had to say about the experience.

"It was amazing to meet our returners on Monday and join them for an insightful meeting at Deutsche Bank!

We got to understand how Deutsche Bank's tech teams operate, heard about all the innovations happening internally, and learned how software engineers like the returners can contribute to their thriving organisation. Now, weโ€™re back to exploring test-driven development with James and getting ready for the next phase of our programme: interview preparation."

โœจ Thank you, Suzanne Forbes, for hosting us and our wonderful returners!

๐ŸŒŸ Did you know? ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป It's no surprise that the top reason for career breaks among software engineers is childcare responsibilities.

This trend commonly results in a higher number of women applying for our refresher and upskilling programmes, as they often pause their careers to care for their children.
