Perhaps the number of jobs that require mastery is less well known? i.e. Not advertised as often / not vacant as often.
I suppose I'm splitting hairs here in one's definition of "not large", by in my circles (~25 years of dev working experience) there are quite a lot of "jobs" requiring mastery, but they certainly do become available less often (or rather, they're usually quietly filled without much public notice).
- BossingAround 5y agoWhat are some of the jobs that require mastery in your mind? I suspect we'll diverge in that opinion, hence our different conclusions.
- gombosg 5y agoAlso, the number of developers is increasing exponentially over time. There are maybe a hundred thousand people out there who have >25 years of dev experience, and millions who have <5. E.g. see [1] - 16 times more engineers filling the SO survey with <5 years of experience compared to >25. The job market has to roughly follow this demographic trend, otherwise companies would fall behind competitors.
