It's interesting how (according to these charts) Bengaluru alone has more software engineering openings than the entire USA, and NYC has much more tech jobs than SF, on par with Pune.
This, and the absence of .NET technologies from the list (as noted elsewhere in the thread) makes me take this whole article with a large grain of salt.
- _tgxm 10mo agoQuickly checking db, SF bay area has quite a bit more than NYC. There are clearly a lot of .NET jobs too but didnt make it to cutoff. I will see if I can include metro areas when I get a chance.
- darth_avocado 10mo agoI’m not sure how the list is being compiled but LinkedIn tells me there’s 10k jobs for “software engineer” in a 25 miles radius from me in the Bay Area. Either this data set is incomplete or LinkedIn is lying. Most likely it is both.
- _tgxm 10mo agoI got ~5K if I include Bay Area, tho my data only covers jobs that are active in the past 7d and am quite sure I have room to improve the crawl coverage. My hope is that this report is representative sample of trends.
- hshdhdhj4444 10mo agoSo many LinkedIn jobs are fake.
- phendrenad2 10mo ago> Bengaluru alone has more software engineering openings than the entire USA That wouldn't exactly be surprising IMHO.
- saxenaabhi 10mo agoLinkedin shows the following US: 77,000 European Economic Area: 58,000 India: 51,000 China: 48,000(probably undercounted) UK: 9,000 Canada: 7,000 Brazil: 6,000 Mexico: 4,000 Aus & NZ: 2,000 Eastern Africa: 300 Western Africa: 500 Southern Africa: 600 Northern Africa: 1,000 Within europe: Nordics: 3,000 Germany: 15,000 France: 8,000 Italy: 3,000 Poland: 5,000 Romania: 2,000
- phendrenad2 10mo agoDo you work at LinkedIn? How did you get this data?
- saxenaabhi 10mo agosir, you can search for "software engineer" on linkedin jobs and verify the count
- phendrenad2 10mo agoI tried 'European Economic Area' but didn't get many results.
- windex 10mo agoIndia has a huge fake jobs problem. I think it is because of the number of "HR consultants" who constantly need to refresh their databases with "fresh" resumes. I've seen the same jobs being posted for over 8 years with no change whatsoever other than the keyword updates.
- joenot443 10mo agoThat's a funny mechanism. So these are fake jobs that HR consultants (recruiters?) use to harvest resumes? What's the angle here?
- Our_Benefactors 10mo agoThey can submit those resumes to other positions. This type of recruiter often is paid based on # of resumes furnished, not actually filling the position, so the incentives are completely misaligned.
