The developer market
has changed

Junior developer roles have dropped 60% since 2022. Senior demand is at an all-time high. The gap between education and employment is widening — and both developers and companies are paying the price.

THE MARKET SHIFT

Junior demand is crashing. Senior demand is surging.

The post-2022 tech correction didn't just slow hiring — it fundamentally reshaped who companies are willing to hire. Entry-level roles are disappearing while demand for experienced engineers keeps growing.
