So is there a place where this compares to data from last year, or previous years?
Unfortunately I don't have it because I started working on this last year but I am curious to see how AI skills surface as the year progresses.

#12So there are no companies on Earth using (or at least hiring for) C# or .NET then... ?
There are definitely jobs for C# folks, where is mostly Finance. At least from what I’ve seen. Love .Net but they tend to gravitate towards Microsoft Corporate.
Most people, Java devs included, have incorporated another language into the quiver. Python perhaps. TypeScript for sure.

#13Data 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
Do they even hire engineers from abroad, or at least from the West?

#14It's interesting how (according to these charts) Bengaluru alone has more software engineering openings than the entire USA, and NYC has much more tech jobs than SF, on par with Pune.
This, and the absence of .NET technologies from the list (as noted elsewhere in the thread) makes me take this whole article with a large grain of salt.

Quickly checking db, SF bay area has quite a bit more than NYC. There are clearly a lot of .NET jobs too but didnt make it to cutoff. I will see if I can include metro areas when I get a chance.

I’m not sure how the list is being compiled but LinkedIn tells me there’s 10k jobs for “software engineer” in a 25 miles radius from me in the Bay Area. Either this data set is incomplete or LinkedIn is lying. Most likely it is both.

> Bengaluru alone has more software engineering openings than the entire USA
That wouldn't exactly be surprising IMHO.

Or native mobile?

I got ~5K if I include Bay Area, tho my data only covers jobs that are active in the past 7d and am quite sure I have room to improve the crawl coverage. My hope is that this report is representative sample of trends.
