Insights

JavaScript is the price of entry, not your edge

JavaScript appears in 66% of postings, near-universal.

Do this: Listing JavaScript only keeps you in the room. Differentiate on the rarer skills, and tie JavaScript to a concrete outcome.

This role is less remote than it feels

Only 16% of postings are fully remote. Hybrid is 42% and onsite 12%.

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 20% 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.
