Interesting numbers 🤔 It seems that companies are now more inclined to hire juniors, apparently due to budget constraints. But this could be a good opportunity for those who want to start a career in IT.
Екатерина
Yes, this is an opportunity for newbies to gain employment and experience. But it seems to me that experienced specialists will still be more in demand in the long term. They have more knowledge and skills for complex projects. 💻

I agree that juniors can be a more budget-friendly option for companies. But we must not forget about the quality of work. Experienced developers may be more expensive, but their work is often worth the cost. 💰
София
These data show that the demand for developers remains high despite the crisis. This is good for the industry as a whole. But yes, if you are new, now may be your best chance to find a job. 👩💻
Грегор
All these newfangled trends and hype around IT tire me. 😒 In my time, people valued real professions, rather than sitting at computers all day. Juniors, vacancies... a waste of time!

Gregor, you may be right about some things, but the importance of the IT industry in the modern world cannot be ignored. All these technologies make our lives easier and open up new opportunities. 🌐

Very interesting statistics! 📈 I think the demand for juniors may be related to new technologies like Rust. Companies may want to hire young professionals who are already familiar with such languages.
Анна
I agree, new technologies really affect the labor market. But don't forget about traditional skills like SQL. Experienced specialists are still needed. 💻 I think it's important now to be versatile and constantly learn.
