Data is ex-china. Good luck to everyone looking for a new role in the new year.

What does “ex-china” mean, excluding China? Edit: did a quick find-in-page on mobile for “china” and it appears 0 times. Though notably China is missing from the geographic charts

Yes, excluding china. I don’t have a lot of companies based in china in my crawl data currently.

So is there a place where this compares to data from last year, or previous years?

I would not be surprised if the answer is NO.

That makes sense, they have their own ecosystem for posting jobs there.
