First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: azure (44%), linux (31%), aws (25%), jira (25%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Too few ads publish a pay range to compare, so we do not rank items by pay.
We describe only what the ads state. We do not know how recruiters rank candidates.
