Hello everyone! Recently, the results have become available . 90K developers from around the world participated in the survey, making the data not only an interesting read for discussions with colleagues but also a valuable source of analytics for professional dialogue.
Below are some interesting metrics that caught attention during reading. Some truly make you think:
- Programming is a hobby for the majority of respondents (80.2%). Spending several hours a day on professional literature and publications has long become the norm. The bad news for those who chose this path solely for financial reasons is that it is unlikely they will spend such "free time". But without this, there's no way.
The most important factors when choosing a job: technology stack, culture, flexible schedule, and opportunities for professional growth. Another confirmation that for IT, the team and development are paramount. Everything else is less interesting. And salaries are almost the same everywhere. If you want a great team — create a culture that fosters growth.
- Open to new job offers — 58.7%. It seems the technique of "tapping" employees will not die anytime soon.
- Last changed jobs less than a year ago — 32.4%. Staff turnover in IT at 30% is the market norm, not a sign of a poor HR department.
- Regularly updates resume — 42.8%. To not forget. Well, and to keep employers on their toes. Cookies, fitness, and massage in the office won't appear by themselves.
- More than half (51.9%) of developers are already full-stack (or at least they consider themselves to be). The term full-stack itself has started to evolve from its original meaning and increasingly refers to someone familiar with all major platforms, rather than someone who can effectively use them in daily work.
- Only 3/4 of all respondents (73.9%) work full-time. It seems Toffler was right. At least for IT, his predictions are already reality.
- 8.7% wrote their first line of code younger than 10 years. Programming is the second literacy.
- The most popular social media among developers: Reddit (17.0%), YouTube (16.4%), WhatsApp (15.8%), Facebook (15.6%). A clear monopoly can be observed.

- Does a developer need to become a manager to earn more? NO — 51.3%. Opinions are divided. Salary statistics in the labor market consistently show that we are moving in the right direction, at least in the Russian and CIS markets.
