Insights
JavaScript is the price of entry, not your edge
JavaScript appears in 64% 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 18% of postings are fully remote. Hybrid is 41% and onsite 14%.
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 39% 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.
The language bar is mostly unstated, that's leverage
67% of postings state no language requirement; only 14% explicitly require German.
Do this: Apply confidently in English where language is blank (it's a floor, not a ceiling). Add a German level only when it strengthens you.
