In 2023 I helped Hired with their analysis of the software engineering job market. Now it's time to unpack their 2024 findings! Most in-demand roles (as measured by the % of total of active positions on their site) 1. Backend Engineers (40%) 2. Full Stack Engineers (34%) 3. Frontend Engineers (17%) With Python, Java, and AWS as the most requested tech skill of applicants These will obviously vary market-to-market, but something useful to consider if you're trying to break into tech. Over the next few weeks I'll be breaking down more of their findings, so make sure to follow for more insights into the software engineering job market!

I've worked here and would be willing to work here again. It's a small team delivering an impressive product on an impressive scale. Everyone I know at the company (which was literally everyone while I was there) is kind and dedicated to helping everyone succeed. That's not a platitude. I actually know Scott, Matthew, Dylan, and Danny and every one of them is an excellent teammate. Every dev in this company makes impactful decisions regularly. If you want to make an impact on a small but well established startup this is a position worth pursuing. You're not going to save the world at UpContent and but you're also not going to be ending it. They have an strong product which thrives in it's niche (content summarization and recommendation for marketing professionals). I'm not sure what tech they're using now but they were LLM adjacent long before Chat GPT. I suspect the LLM explosion has been quite good for the company and the devs that work there. One upside of smaller companies is that they actually do care about every person at the company and their well being. You're not going to be an expendable cog at UpContent and they're going to invest in you, your health, and your career accordingly.

***** Frontend roles are not on raise ***** Backend roles are not on raise ***** QE roles are not on raise ***** Dev-ops roles are not on raise In short, the number of openings are not increasing in high numbers since the beginning of 2024, I don't see them getting increased in any near future. Does that mean you should worry ? "No, try becoming a Software Engineer from developer. Quality Engineers will continue to have demand and mediocres will be wiped away" Don't end up spending money on anything/anyone who says openings will increase and pay me and I will assist you.
