How we count

  • Every open job on the board counts once, even when several sites carry it.
  • Only jobs we classified as data engineering roles are on the board.
  • Only what a job states counts. A job that doesn't state a value is left out of that figure; we never estimate salaries.
  • The figures are computed once a day and kept, so changes are measured against the figures of about 90 days earlier.
