First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: python (45%), cad (18%), c++ (18%), matlab (9%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Too few ads publish a pay range to compare, so we do not rank items by pay.
We describe only what the ads state. We do not know how recruiters rank candidates.
