Current vacancy numbers and salaries.
 
Time I did some original thinking. Like thinking about the continued boom in salaries for those with 4-8 years' experience. PMs (3-6 years) are leaving SREs (2-4 years) behind, and ADs have bridged some of the gap to Director level.

Level No. Jobs £ Avge Level No. Jobs £ Avge
JRE 11 20500       AD 172 48900
RE 71 25100   Direc 71 68900
SRE 172 29200   Field 9 29100
PM 149 37200   IT / DP 21 33500
RM 66 44100   Other 86 31400
The table shows the number of vacancies at each level on MrWeb at present, and the mean salary for all such jobs. Note that a large number of older job ads are often removed during the first week of a month, so you may see a sharp drop in numbers and a significant change in salaries around this time.

What candidates want
What candidates are out there and what they're looking for, based on 3,000+ current registered MR jobseekers.

Wording vacancy ads
What tends to work and what doesn't - an article from the Nov 2002 MRWho based on candidate feedback, the wisdom of our recruitment consultant advertisers and our own experience from our first 10,000 ads [not much has changed now as it approaches 15,000 ads...]

Love 'n Hate [e - archive]
Some (occasionally extreme...) views of the good and bad points of a number of jobs within MR, from the 'Love and Hate' pages of all MRWho's 28 issues to date. Consider these light reading with possible anecdotal value, rather than a representative sample.
