First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: python (23%), cad (23%), excel (15%), sql (15%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Among the 13 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 ⇅ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 'or equivalent experience' accepted | 7 | 6 | $89,508 | -$45,992 |
We describe only what the ads state. We do not know how recruiters rank candidates.
