First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: cad (67%), autocad (25%), jira (12%), python (12%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Among the 24 ads that publish a pay range, we compared the median pay of ads that name each item with ads that do not. This is a correlation in the ads, not a promise: an item can pay more because it comes with senior roles.
| Item named in the ad ⇅ | Ads naming it ⇅ | Ads not naming it ⇅ | Median pay midpoint with it ⇅ | Difference vs ads without it ⇅ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master's degree | 11 | 13 | $167,885 | +$17,665 |
| autocad | 6 | 18 | $166,045 | +$8,350 |

We describe only what the ads state. We do not know how recruiters rank candidates.
