A Mixed Bag of Trends
📈 Comparing September to the same month last year, we've seen an 8.4% increase in assignments. In other words, we’ve been seeing positive numbers since I since my June update – definitely a positive trend.
However, the number of available consultants has also risen noticeably and is now higher than both September 2023 and last month.
Over the past month, we’ve noticed a slight dip in roles that had been growing before (like system developers, database developers, data engineers/scientists), while there’s been a small uptick in roles like DevOps, agile coaches, scrum masters, and various types of engineers. The changes are minor though.
Remote assignments have continued to decrease, but just a little. Still, it’s a bit of a disappointing trend.
