March 2022 Hacker News Hiring Trends
March Highlights
Checking in with a quick March Update since it's been a few months. The list of terms used to analyze the job postings has been refreshed with some newer and popular technolgies, technologies that have been gaining ground over the last year. A few of the newer technologies that have cracked the "Rising" list with entries include: FastAPI, Tailwind CSS, web3, Clickhouse, and Flutter.
Back up at the top of the charts, the remote hiring trend appears to have peaked, dropping back from an all time high of ~77% of postings to this month with ~74% of postings. Not a big drop, and that's already amazingly high, but the trend is not climbing higher.
Looking further at the top 20, it has remained very stable over the last year. Techology-wise, React, Python, and TypeScript are still dominating.
