Today’s article is long, and it will be cut by your email reader. That’s why I recommend you to read it in your browser at this link.

It’s packed with good stuff, don’t miss it!


I’M GUILTY

Let me explain…

Some months ago - I think around September or October - I mentioned how things got a bit in the way and that’s why I wasn’t able to add features and improve existing functionalities in Euro Top Tech Jobs.

I said (I don’t remember in which article exactly) that “probably, I’ll get back to it around November”.

Yet, January came, and I still hadn’t improved jack s*it.

That’s not good. Sorry to all the subs!

Private guides to land top jobs

Luckily, I managed to do well on the content side of the subscription, and I added 2 heavy pieces to the paid articles collection (which before only had this CV guide):

  • The SPA Framework to Optimally Strategise your Career and Job Search

  • The SWE Guide to LinkedIn, that I published yesterday

There’s more to come in this regard, but I think these 3 articles already bring a lot of value.

My goal

Maybe it’s gonna help taking a step back and clarifying what this subscription is about.

The European Engineer is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Fundamentally, my goal with this newsletter is to help you - a tech worker in Europe:

  1. Increase your earnings

  2. Improve your lifestyle

  3. Have an enjoyable and sustainable career

All these things are good, but, unfortunately, they take effort, talent and time to achieve.

I want to make the process easier.

To do that, I’ve built:

The free newsletter - The European Engineer

It’s what you’re reading right now.

It is my democratised and free way to help people.

What you get here is straight-up FREE and high-quality content, with unique insights on tech careers in Europe.

I’m not saying this to blow my own horn, but if in less than 12 months I’ve gained 10k+ email subscribers here and almost 40k followers on LinkedIn, my guess is that the content is on point and useful, and not easy to find anywhere else.

The paid newsletter subscription - Euro Top Tech Jobs

This comprises of 2 elements:

  • The job board

  • The paid articles (so far, the 3 that I mentioned above)

The goal here is to give you more concrete and actionable help to get good/top jobs.

The job board should allow you to save time navigating the market and finding top positions/companies to target and apply to.

The paid articles should give you tools and info on how to land these jobs.

The 3 articles so far - the CV guide, the LinkedIn guide, and the SPA technique to find roles, companies and locations to target and build up your skill set accordingly - all go in this direction.

If you read these 3 articles, and thoroughly apply the lessons shared there, and you use the job board to scan the market and find jobs, you should already be halfway there to land top tech jobs in Europe - be it onsite or remotely.

I plan to make the job board better and better and to add other key guides to help you prepare even more.

Eventually, these 2 resources alone should help you get 70%+ there.

BTW, as I’ve already mentioned in the past: as I add more feature to the offer, I’ll be raising the prices accordingly. Once you’re subscribed, you’ve locked in the LOW price FOREVER until you unsubscribe yourself.

There are still day 1 subscribers here paying 5 eur/month or 50 eur/year for the service - while the current prices are 9 eur/month and 75 eur/year.

Prices will go up again for sure. I’m not sure exactly when, but they will.

If you want to lock-in the existing prices, you should be able to that here :)

The tools are here. It’s up to you to make the most out of them and get results.

GUILTY NO MORE

I started today’s article mentioning how I’m guilty of not having improved the job board functionalities for a while.

Well, this week I’ve done a small step into changing this.

After some people were finding it inconvenient to have to select the “job freshness” themselves to find the latest added jobs, I’ve now sorted them by default: the “freshest” jobs now show first right away:

I’ve also finally added dark mode 🥳🪇🎊🪩

😅

(btw, you can switch between light and dark mode clicking on the icon in the top-right corner of the site)

It’s simple stuff, but at least it’s something!

Also, do you think I should care about making the UI more “inviting”?

I’ve always been a backend dev, especially in my last couple of years where I worked on cloud/distributed systems for MySQL. So, personally, I don’t really mind, and I’d rather focus on adding and improving functionalities.

But maybe other people do? Give me some tips! ☺️ Do you care about a better designed UI? If so, how do I improve it?

The Future

I don’t want to over-commit.

But I’ll try to get back to improving the board more consistently and ship stuff more often!!

Let me know if you have things you’d like me to implement. It’s gonna help me prioritise.

If you want to land a top role in less than 6 months with 90% probability

Then what you need is to apply to my coaching program.

This really is the BEST way to actually get results.

Almost guaranteed.

If I can’t get you a substantially better role in less than 6 months, I will tell you right away and not let you in the program.

If after a month I get the feeling that you won’t be able to get there, I’ll also tell you right away, and save you more months of program’s costs.

If you stay in and I tell you that things are working, 90% chance you’re gonna get there in max 6 to 9 months. Often less than that.

Back to the New Year Headcount: is hiring ramping up?

Are companies hiring more in this infamous “fertile” time of the year?

Let’s see…

Data from this week’s onsite/hybrid/country-remote section of eurotoptechjobs.com (!= from the fully-remote high-paying companies’ list):

Total number of job listings: 4,609

Top 10 Companies (Number of Open Positions)

  • Principal - 63

  • Mid-level - 40

  • Senior staff - 24

And here are the key changes between the two weeks:

  • Increased from 4,507 to 4,609 (+102 positions)

Company Changes

  • AWS: +17 positions (548 → 565)

  • NVIDIA: -13 positions (449 → 436)

  • Oracle: -31 positions (329 → 298)

  • HubSpot dropped out of top 10

  • Elastic returned to top 10 with 95 positions

Location Changes

  • Madrid: -1 position (178 → 177)

  • Staff: +9 positions (322 → 331)

  • Entry-level: +49 positions (171 → 220)

  • Intern: +2 positions (184 → 186)

  • Principal: unchanged at 63

  • Mid-level: -1 position (41 → 40)

  • Senior staff: unchanged at 24

Conclusion

A bit of a hiring ramp-up.

Not a lot still.

My understanding:

  • Headcount ramp-up in Q1 is real → we’re starting to see something

  • It’s not a lot yet, because of:

    • Overall market being f*cked

    • Gonna be a slow increase (+100 in one week is a good signal though)

Let’s see if things change in the next few weeks! It might be that it’s still early.

Some hand-picked roles from this week’s EuroTopTechJobs.com update:

This week I don’t have time to do this, sorry 😄

I’ll just post the screenshot of eurotoptechjobs.com homepage so you can see some new roles yourself:

BTW: in case you’re curious → usually I update the job board 2 or 3 times per week; usually on friday and tuesday around 12:00-14:00 CET. Sometimes I update it more often, sometimes on different days/times. But as a rule of thumb: you should find new stuff every tuesday and friday afternoon.
