First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: machine learning (50%), python (50%), jira (29%), linux (21%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Among the 12 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 ⇅ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| machine learning | 5 | 7 | $218,500 | +$9,500 |
| python | 6 | 6 | $214,500 | -$8,000 |
We describe only what the ads state. We do not know how recruiters rank candidates.
