Methodology
Source: open IT jobs that Zorky collects every day from job boards, company career pages and Telegram channels.
A job is “open” if it was live in the latest daily snapshot. The remote share is counted among jobs that state remote, hybrid or office. Salaries are monthly USD from postings that state a salary, excluding values outside $500–50,000.
Changes compare with the last snapshot of the previous month. If our coverage changed more than 1.5 times (for example, new job boards were connected), changes are not published: that would be growth of our coverage, not of the market. A job posted on several sites may be counted more than once.
“From any country” is counted only when the posting says so explicitly (for example, “worldwide” or “work from anywhere”). A remote job that does not say where you can work from is counted as “not stated”, never as “any country”. The base is all remote jobs in the report, including those where this is not determined yet.
