Job Title

“Engineer” continues to be the most lucrative job title, while “Developer” remains at the bottom of the ladder.

And just like in the most recent State of JavaScript survey results, fullstack and frontend positions were staffed by the youngest respondents on average, and frontend job titles were also correlated with a significantly higher proportion of women.

It's encouraging to see the proportion of Hispanic and Latin respondents climb from 11% to 19%, potentially coinciding with the rise in popularity of Spanish and Portuguese-speaking streamers and educators.
