Years of experience. 17 of 20 ads (85%) state a number of years. The median is 5 years; 76% ask for 5 or more and 0% for 10 or more.

First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: python (65%), matlab (45%), excel (35%), tableau (35%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Among the 19 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 ⇅ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| tableau | 7 | 12 | $213,876 | +$48,846 |
| excel | 7 | 12 | $213,876 | +$48,846 |
| python | 13 | 6 | $176,500 | +$22,554 |
| matlab | 9 | 10 | $183,500 | +$18,470 |
| Bachelor's degree | 14 | 5 | $166,000 | -$10,500 |
We describe only what the ads state. We do not know how recruiters rank candidates.
