According to the annual survey conducted by Stack Overflow, which polls 50,000 developers from 170 countries, a significant proportion of global job prospects are associated with software development.
Such jobs are the best paid in the United States, followed by positions in banking and the health industry. This trend has been gaining traction steadily since 2013. Those working in the industry tend to consider a flexible schedule a more important factor than salary, while the most effective means of securing a job is via networking rather than using LinkedIn.
