Looking for a job as backend developer, a Sankey diagram
Data collected from Oct 6th, 2023, until today. All data collected by me.
Applied to 61 job offers on different sites (LinkedIn mostly, but also some minor Spanish job sites). All of them were for Django or Python backend developer (asking for Django, FastAPI or Flask), mostly mid/senior level, but some of them even were for junior level, just in case.
Currently, mid/senior. Some companies give me senior grade, but for most of them I'm still in mid level (+3.5 years of experience as backend developer, almost 7 years coding)
Some Spanish newspapers and blogs are blaming "the remote work trending" for this, and claiming 97% of companies can't find good candidates. Well, maybe this is because they're looking for devs who waste their time into going to the office, because productivity, when there is studies which say working from home has even better results.
