Quick engineering salary comparison based on the #DEVBG stats from 2023 and 2024 in the Bulgarian IT industry. Dev.bg publish yearly a summary of the Bulgarian IT engineering salaries based on the job openings offers on their platform. https://lnkd.in/dNU5MD8D (2023 stats) https://lnkd.in/dX_dxvP7 (2024 stats) Based on the population data (let's assume it's a proper representation of the real world) we can determine the following: 1. PHP should be dead but it isn't (unfortunately) as it's one of the two categories with growing salaries in all job positions and ranges. 2. The second is the full stack development with a minimum drop of 65 levas in the first MID range(2-5 years) 3. All ranges except the Senior level(5+ years of experience) have a drop in salary compared to 2023 but for some seem negligible compared to the notion in the industry that "it's going down and AI will take over the world" :) 4. We can see that seniority still counts and there is now a shift towards growth of salaries of more senior people compared to others as the market tries to regulate. 5. There is still a lot of green for a "dying" and "shrinking" industry. P.S To anyone interested I can share the excel if needed but it's quite straightforward to generate it. *Legend: Diff min Mid - difference in the minimum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Mid - difference in the maximum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff min Sen - difference in the minimum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Sen - difference in the maximum ranges for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff min Sen Median - difference in the minimum ranges based on the provided median from dev.bg for a category between 2023 and 2024 Diff max Sen Median - difference in the maximum ranges based on the provided median from dev.bg for a category between 2023 and 2024

HOW TO SOURCE DEVELOPERS ON DEVSCANR This is a tutorial on how to find technical talent. We will use the DevScanr sourcing platform and the Skills-first methodology to find a “Backend JavaScript Developer” in Romania. The tutorial is inspired by a video from Michal Juhas, who was searching for engineers for the same position, but on LinkedIn Recruiter. At the end, we compare both approaches and results. https://lnkd.in/ethWmFJa

🇷🇴 Romania, we need to talk. ‼️ We are living in historic times. The very foundation of our democracy is being tested. Decisions made on December 8th will echo, shaping our nation's and its people's future. Yet, a glance at recent Google Trends (-7 days) paints a sobering picture. Is this the kind of informed citizenry we need to shape our future? 🤬 Democracy thrives when people ask hard questions, seek deeper understanding, and hold leaders accountable. Instead, we’re googling our way into apathy. This isn’t a call to shame; it’s a wake-up call. Romania has always been a country of resilience. Let's seize the opportunity to make a difference and undo the damage that's been done. ‼️

Maaret Pyhäjärvi told me once: "Our careers are too important to be left to our managers to set our goals on." That conversation encouraged me to create my "Managing Up" talk, where I share a few practical tips on *how* to do it. This particular skill set was invisible to me for most of my career, and I decided to make it visible and practical. I hope you like it, and more importantly, I hope it helps you take more control of your career goals. If you’d like a more detailed and customized version of this talk or a workshop that dives deeper into these topics aligned with your team’s needs and company context, contact me over DM or email ([email protected]). I’ll be happy to support you in achieving your goals.
