- Tech hiring shows signs of recovery with net tech employment projected to grow 1.9% this year, including increases in software development (2.6%) and data science (3.5%).
- Relocation-friendly tech jobs are slowly increasing again, but competition density has risen sharply as candidate pools have grown faster than openings, making job searches harder.
- Candidates for relocation roles now often prioritize quality of life and stability over just compensation, requiring clearer specialization and a strong digital footprint to stand out.
- Back-end tech, ML/data science, and DevOps/SRE/Infra roles are in high demand for relocation, as they justify the costs of international hiring and show strong projected growth.
