The "working model" is a determining factor in job selection for developers!

The increasing global demand for the software and technology sector has made the value of talented individuals in this field more pronounced. Therefore, as the technology career platform Techcareer.net, we conducted comprehensive research to understand the current trends, expectations, and requirements of the industry. Here are some key highlights from this research! The recent changes in the information technology sector in Turkey and worldwide, evolving working conditions, and shifting expectations highlight the growing importance of being able to respond to these changes. Techcareer.net conducted a survey with over 1,000 employees in the technology sector, candidates interested in the industry, and more than 200 companies to deeply analyze the current state, expectations, and future plans of the sector. Let's take a closer look at some of the significant findings from this research together.
 

The Diversity of Resources Used by Software Developers

According to the survey results, a significant portion of beginner software developers appear to be inclined towards self-learning. At the same time, bootcamp programs and university education still play a prominent role in the learning process.

Prominent Programming Languages in Software

According to the analysis, JavaScript and C# stand out as the most commonly used languages, with both languages being actively used at a rate of 52%. However, while interest in these languages remains steady, there is a growing demand trend observed in Python.

Specializations and Future Career Goals of Candidates

Backend technology stands out as the most popular field of interest among developers, followed by Full-stack and Front-end. This reflects the popularity of application and web-based projects, leading to an increase in the number of developers working in these areas.

Companies' Workforce Requirements

The most preferred positions in the hiring processes of companies are determined as "Back-End Developer" (15%) and "Front-End Developer" (13%). It can be stated that companies in the technology sector are particularly focused on software development and require talented professionals in these positions.

Priorities in Candidates' Job Selection

The salary offers made by companies stand out as the most striking feature in job selection. However, this does not mean that candidates only have financial expectations. "Working conditions" play a more significant role in job choices compared to other factors.
