First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: excel (100%), aws (48%), azure (44%), python (42%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Among the 90 ads that publish a pay range, we compared the median pay of ads that name each item with ads that do not. This is a correlation in the ads, not a promise: an item can pay more because it comes with senior roles.
