    Hot hiring, constrained wages

    Employers are hiring actively, but pay hasn't caught up with demand. Focus on competing offers and non-salary benefits.

    Why this market feels harder than it looks

    This market is hiring aggressively, but compensation hasn't caught up and most openings are backfilling churn, not expansion. Employers are filling roles, but not bidding wages up.

    Who this leverage applies to

    Stronger for: Senior candidates with options
    Weaker for: Entry-level candidates, Career switchers

    Where to negotiate

    Base salary

    Likely Possible Unlikely

    Watch out for

    Wage disconnect: Hiring is active but pay hasn't responded—negotiate on other terms.

    Don't let hiring headlines mislead you—focus on concrete offers. Your leverage may be less durable than it appears—move decisively.
