Tech Job Market Report, Australia

Get a glimpse of some job market trends taking place across Australian cities and industries
We see a negative trend in entry-level jobs, which means that it's getting slightly more difficult to enter the Tech sector. It might be caused by the fact that the competition for jobs has slightly increased in the broader market.

The ratio of entry level jobs to normal jobs is quite small. The vast majority of jobs posted are NOT entry level.
Note: When we say a job is an entry-level job, it is actually entry-level. It's not a case where employer posts a job, randomly marks it as Entry level, but demands 5 years of experience. Our definition of entry-level job: a job that asks for no experience or less than 1 year of experience. Our AI reads every job to check this.
The quantity of jobs published remained stable, which is good news, given the fact that in the whole world the quantity of Tech jobs has been falling. It's also important to note that we are starting the measurements in Jan 2023, rather than Jan 2021, when the market was at the peak.
Conclusion
If we look at all tech jobs, we see that the market is not getting better, and is not getting worse for people with experience in the sector. It is getting somewhat worse for those trying to enter the Tech. But it's important to look at each career separately.
Conclusion
People with the experience related to finance have better chances to switch to a Tech job, because their experience is valuable to employers.
There is a new market niche growing, which is Technology for pension funds, electric power generation and mining. The demand for Tech people with this experience has increased recently.
Conclusion
You are more likely to get an entry-level job at a startup or a medium-sized business.
In general, the biggest employers of Tech people are medium-sized businesses and Australian corporations.

Note: approximately half of the companies don't mention where you'll be working from in the job description. It means that this metric only makes sense when you're comparing a proportion of remote jobs in one career with another career.
