Already at the end of last year, another thing began to be noticed on the labor market – the demand for personnel in the IT field began to clearly decrease. Then the explanations were that after the pandemic and the forced work from home, which led to a sharp jump in the demand for IT specialists, it is normal to calm down and even decline. Meanwhile, layoffs began after years of companies in the industry doing their best to attract even inexperienced people, train them and keep them. One more negative trend in IT is noticed – the drop in wages.
