First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: python (47%), c++ (47%), typescript (35%), cad (29%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Among the 17 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 ⇅ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cad | 5 | 12 | $242,920 | +$59,980 |
| python | 8 | 9 | $182,940 | +$9,475 |
| c++ | 8 | 9 | $182,940 | +$9,475 |

| kubernetes | 5 | 12 | $173,465 | -$9,475 |
| docker | 5 | 12 | $173,465 | -$9,475 |
We describe only what the ads state. We do not know how recruiters rank candidates.
