The major changes in the JavaScript market over the past 6 months include a slight increase in salaries for JavaScript developers as is expected with the changing market conditions and as an incentive for employee retention. Additionally, more and more developers, based on seniority level, are looking for fully remote positions as they are used to working remotely during Covid-19 and would like to continue doing so for a work-life balance.<\/p>\n
With regards to JavaScript<\/a> development, modern JavaScript framework skills are high in demand (React, Angular, Vue, Ember – in that order). Developers that are framework agnostic or have experience with multiple frameworks typically tend to progress quite quickly. Vanilla JavaScript or Core JavaScript is still a core skill but few roles focus on just that and don\u2019t require framework experience. Additionally, Fullstack JavaScript roles are on the rise and typically use React on the Frontend and Node.js<\/a> on the Backend.<\/p>\n There is a variety of companies hiring in this sector ranging from small start-ups to organisations gearing towards IPO and large multinationals. Frontend skills<\/a> are always in demand and Dublin has a very large tech hub so there are always opportunities for Frontend developers.<\/p>\n Candidates in this market are generally looking for organisations with a good work-life balance, interesting work where they can build applications from scratch, and a good compensation package to add to this. Typical benefit schemes include a 10% bonus, pension, healthcare, dental care, flexibility with remote working and stock options.<\/p>\n Clients look for many qualities\/skills when hiring. These include some that show curiosity and ability for innovation as well as those who are motivated and have the drive to progress within their organisation and role.<\/p>\n Other skills include the ability to lead a team or mentor more junior developers and of course, experience with modern JavaScript frameworks, preferably React, as this is the most popular framework in the market at present.<\/p>\n Some trends that I have noticed are a move away from Angular to React, as well as more niche frameworks gaining more popularity. Companies using these frameworks (Ember, Vue) are hiring more frequently and in large volumes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.22″ custom_padding=”3px|||||”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”5px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.2″ text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ link_font=”|600|||on||||” link_text_color=”#0c27d6″ header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#c4062f” header_font_size=”20px” header_line_height=”1.4em” header_2_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#c3212e” header_2_font_size=”22px” header_2_line_height=”1.6em” header_3_font=”Montserrat|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”15px” header_3_line_height=”1.6em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”justified” width=”90%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”left” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_line_height_tablet=”” header_2_line_height_phone=”1.4em” header_2_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” border_radii=”on|6px|6px|6px|6px” border_color_all=”#344c62″ border_color_bottom=”#c3212e” border_style_bottom=”solid” […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":86611,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"JavaScript Developer - IT Salary Survey Ireland September 2022","_seopress_titles_desc":"JavaScript framework skills are high in demand (React, Angular, Vue, Ember) and developers with multiple frameworks tend to progress quite quickly.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":" Here at Archer, we have reopened our doors and a small portion of us have returned to the office. Having returned to the office, I\u2019ve found it\u2019s a good time to reflect on the difference between working in the office and working from home. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Undoubtedly, there have been many challenges with working from home. From issues with WiFi and technology to finding a quiet place to work. From mobile coverage and communication to being able to switch on or off, as well as missing the buzz of the office. All of these are challenges that many of us have had to adapt to and overcome. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n With that being said, I've taken the time to think about some of the great things about working from home. I\u2019ve come up with a list of 3 great things about working from home that I think people could incorporate into their new routines in the office.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n For me, number one on the list was choosing when or if I was interrupted. It gave me a little bit more headspace as I was able to get on with things that maybe I would have been distracted by previously. Number two is the improved communication within our teams. I have found that the quality of interactions between our teams has improved tremendously. It\u2019s been great taking the time to interact and understand what\u2019s going on in their worlds. Last but not least on my list is having more quality time with the family. Being able to sit down and have lunch with them has given us some extra time to interact and engage with each other. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n So, since we're back in the office, we're looking at how can we bring in some of the good things about working from home into the office and what they might be. I'd be really interested in hearing what other people are finding works well for them outside the office, and working from home and what they'd like to be able to bring back into the office when the time comes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ll be welcoming any thoughts or comments. Thanks. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Sam Perrin<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 01 469 8512<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86626"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86626"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86626\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":86633,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86626\/revisions\/86633"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archer.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}For more information on the current IT job market and the latest salary bands, please download our\u00a0IT\u00a0<\/span>Salary Survey here.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n
