Insights
Security is the price of entry, not your edge
Security appears in 69% of postings, near-universal.
Do this: Listing Security only keeps you in the room. Differentiate on the rarer skills, and tie Security to a concrete outcome.
This role is less remote than it feels
Only 11% of postings are fully remote. Hybrid is 54% and onsite 10%.
Do this: Plan your search around being reachable from a hub; treat fully-remote roles as a bonus, not the baseline.
The market is heating up, timing is an edge
Postings are up about 43% quarter over quarter.
Do this: Move early and apply broadly; in a rising market the edge goes to candidates who reach roles while the pool is small.
