One thing that's been super clear over the last year is that the most likely-to-win job opportunities in software are not at some DAAANG acronym of mega-companies, it's at the small teams and more off-the-radar spots.

As the pool of available senior developers tightens up it creates the market for mid-level developers.
As available mid-level developers find roles, it creates the conditions (both demand for headcount and the support infrastructure to increase success) for junior-level developers.

So while employers who are hiring juniors are great indicators, it's also valuable to consider employers who are hiring mid/senior folks as well as promoting junior-to-mid and mid-to-senior. They're the ones who'll hire juniors next.

I pulled a list of companies who hired or promoted Turing grads from late June to late August and filtered them down to just the more technical roles. The diversity of company size and industry gives me continued faith that the overall tech industry continues to recover. My hope is that this data can give job hunters some specific ideas (about these companies), some inspiration for industries and types of companies to look at, and show that great employment is possible!

Best of luck to the job hunters out there!
