The salary guide’s web page also offers a search form that lets you adjust salaries to a selected cities (also showing what the lower salaries would be in the 25th percentile for applications new to the role and still acquiring relevant skills).
The page calls tech-sector recruiting “especially active,” with employers hiring tech professionals “at or beyond pre-pandemic levels.” In fact, 52% of tech employers said they were adding new positions, with 49% offering signing bonuses to new employees, and hiring is especially strong in areas like cloud services, AI/machine learning, and data analysis.
One perk being offered more frequently by tech-oriented businesses: unlimited time off.
