HackerRank Analyzed Data from 100K+ Developers and Hiring Managers — Here is what I found
Great Analysis Results from 100,000+ Developers and Hiring Managers
I love Data. Period.
Like every day (30 minutes reading ritual before starting my office work), I was going through some great data science and machine learning articles to keep myself abreast of latest trends/info and I found a great survey that was done by HackerRank.
In this post, I’m going to cover the trends in the developers’ community in 2020. Let’s dive in!

Which role is in demand?
The results indicate that Larger companies are more likely to want to hire specialists as compared to smaller companies (startups) which considers full-stack developers more important.
Priority is given as stated below:
- Full-stack developers
- Back-end Developer
- Front-end developer
- DevOps Engineering
- Data Scientist
- QA Engineer
What is the most sought after programming language skill by employers?
JavaScript is in demand followed by Python and Java at the global level. Java, on the other hand, is the most sought after programming language in Asia-Pacific. An important trend that can be seen in AMER region is that the managers are language agnostic i.e they don’t really care what language do you know/code in.
This goes with the fact that if you know a programming language well then you can easily take up second programming language at work if required.

Most sought after skills developers are interested in learning
This isn’t that surprising as Go is the most sought programming language developers are interested in learning next.
Go is an open-source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. What’s more important is that — it offers a ton of features for writing heavily-parallel programming.
Hiring from coding boot camps
About 33% of hiring managers accept that coding boot camps give you a good foundation to learn a programming language that makes you a good hiring candidate. While 40% of hiring managers are indifferent when it comes to coding boot camp candidates.
Career Progression
Being a software engineer myself, I care a lot about my next step in my career. As much as we love promotions, what’s also important is to expand the technical toolbox and expertise. Most developers want to get promoted into a technical role i.e technical lead rather than a managerial role.
Educational Qualifications
Having worked with some of the best programmers in the world who never went to pursue any degree and are self-taught,
I must say you don’t need a degree to be able to get a job/work as a software engineer. However, for sure a stellar degree with a great GPA can be your shining armor and help you with your resume to stand out.
According to the survey results, 32% of developers who work at small companies don’t have Bachelor’s degrees. At large companies, 9% to around 19% of their developer workforce don’t have any degrees. This makes me say that your practical work experience weighs far more than your degree, bonus — you can save some hefty bucks (spent as the college fees).
So start building things — if you haven’t started yet!
Money Matters $$$
Well as expected, San Fran leads the chart with an average annual salary of $148,000 followed by Seattle, LA, Boston, and New York. Based on the 100,000+ developers surveyed, the average annual salary is US $54,000.
What are the best known languages?
JavaScript takes the top spot (again) followed by Java, C and Python.
What are the best known frameworks?
AngularJS maintains its popularity and takes the top spot for last 3 consecutive years. Vue.js is gaining the momentum rising one position per year since 2018.
Does Salary increase based on the languages known?
Perl developers make 54% more than the average annual developer salary and its followed by Scala and Go. It also depends on the seniority level of the position as senior developers earn more than the junior devs based on the language expertise.
Does Salary increase based on the frameworks known?
Backbone.js takes the top spot as it pays you the highest followed by Cocoa (+35%), RoR (+30%) and Spark (+29.4%).
Salaries by Country
As expected US pays the most to the developers (with average developer salaries of$109,168) followed by Australia (with average developer salaries of $88,539) and Canada (with average developer salaries of $72,772).
