First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: java (65%), azure (46%), aws (42%), c++ (40%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Among the 52 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.
| Item named in the ad ⇅ | Ads naming it ⇅ | Ads not naming it ⇅ | Median pay midpoint with it ⇅ | Difference vs ads without it ⇅ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
