Indeed released its latest Labor Market Update, which took a look at junior versus senior roles in recent job postings. The big takeaway: Senior roles are more dominant in tech.
Employers want specialized talent, and opportunities advertised specifically to beginners have been scarce lately.
Some highlights below:
In the tech and engineering, senior-level roles dominate. As of August, fewer than 2% of postings in these fields were for junior roles.Software development roles: 30.7% advertise senior titles, while 2% advertise junior titles.Data & Analytics: 24.2% advertise senior titles; 3.4% advertise junior titles.IT Systems/Solutions: 23.6% advertise senior titles; 2.8% advertise junior titles.
