Full-stack engineers continue to be in high demand
Despite the recent spate of tech layoffs that has left 212,958 tech workers globally out of a job so far this year, it’s a great time to be a software engineer.
That’s because engineers continue to be in high demand across the board—full-stack engineers accounted for 56% of all interview requests in 2022.
Smaller companies and startups have traditionally opted for full-stack engineers rather than hiring separate front and backend engineers when resources are limited.
Larger organisations haven’t been tied to the same restrictions, though with trimmed budgets and efficiency entering the conversation in 2022, it seems Big Tech has taken note.
Similarly, in its Needs Analysis Report, The European Software Skills Alliance (ESSA) emphasised that, “there is a shift to new kinds of developers, like full stack developers and low code developers”, and that “the most important insight is that developers are becoming more and more part of the regular organisation instead of a separate entity.”
Salaries rising
Where demand leads, salaries follow and although tech salaries in the US continue to be significantly higher than those in the UK, wages here are growing faster year-on-year and the starting pay for developers and engineers is 64% above the UK average.
And with 46% of those surveyed sharing that their most common reason for turning down a job offer is because they’ve already accepted another opportunity, an emerging skills crunch means workers are in the driving seat and the sector is ripe with opportunity.
This is reinforced in Deloitte’s Finance 2025 report, which highlights that the accelerated pace of digitisation in every industry and not just tech means the battle for tech talent shows no signs of abating.
