For technology hounds, they no longer just focus on having a good salary – but are looking for the whole package, including benefits, growth opportunities, mentoring and more.

With such quick growth and not enough talent to keep up, the graduates with tech degrees are flying forward with limitless career choices and high expectations for their new job roles.
