“While neither the employed nor their employers have the upper hand in the 2023 job market, 2024 will see job seekers and hiring managers coming to a compromise on what is most important in an employment agreement. Companies cutting costs & corners with tech talent will lose out, and candidates may need to consider a more hybrid (versus fully remote) work environment.”
Vice President
“In 2024, expect to see companies across all industries in DC reverse course and begin to hire more mid-level workers, and build back up the size of their engineering teams. While they might lack some of the skills needed on day one, they’re willing to learn and grow, and will ultimately help these organizations long-term, all while saving short and long-term costs.”
Executive Director
“Tech workers in 2024 need to have an honest assessment of the skills they bring to the job market. Truly “A-level” talent still have the opportunity to essentially name their price and work environment, but for everyone else, candidates can’t set unrealistic expectations or risk missing out on otherwise quality opportunities.”
