Abstract


A career in Software Engineering demands the development of several technical skills. However, these professionals also need to develop non-technical skills related to soft skills. Through an electronic survey, this research raised the importance of soft skills and which have the greatest impact on career development and daily activities, based on the perception of professionals in this area. The results showed that these professionals understand that soft skills have a high impact on the development of their careers and daily activities. However, there is no greater concern with their development when considering the sample of this research.

Keywords: Soft skills, career in software engineering
