Postings by country

See current postings in your country

Pick a country. We only show postings from that country — never a worldwide figure dressed up as a national one.

These are the postings we have right now for that country. They are not a national total, a salary estimate or a hiring prediction.

Only postings with a clear country are counted, and the sample changes as we review more or fewer postings. Salaries appear once enough postings in a country state one.

There is not enough comparable data to say whether that is rising or falling.

Share of all postings reviewed each month. Shares are comparable across months; raw counts are not, because the number of postings we review changes from month to month.
