1、Big Transitions in the Tech IndustryHireds 2023 State of Software Engineers2As we reflected on 2022 and the data,so many images came to mind a rollercoaster,a pendulum,a weathervane,a two-sided coin.Its been a challenging time for the tech industry.Despite this,the tech industry unemployment rate co

13、 December 2022,72%of interview requests(IVRs)went to candidates with six or more years of experience,up from 64%in January 2022.Senior talent also saw higher salary increases versus more junior talent from 2021 to 2022.Local salaries showed more volatility than remote salaries since layoffs began.Lo
14、s Angeles saw the largest negative impact on local salaries,decreasing by 6%to$152K.Philadelphia saw the greatest amount of growth,with local salaries increasing by 7%to$150K.Remote salaries flattened.SF Bay Area had the highest salaries during the layoff period(May 1 to December 31,2022)for remote
15、roles at$180K,followed by Seattle($175K)and New York($169K).For local roles,the highest paying markets were also the SF Bay Area($180K),Seat-tle($169K),and New York($162K).The wage gap for non-traditional educational background candidates widened in 2022 for both the US and UK.US candidates with non
