Łukasz Drynkowski reveals a new report analyzing over 20,000 applications to compare Java and .NET job markets.

This episode of Porozmawiajmy o IT features an interview with Łukasz Drynkowski from the Solid Jobs portal, focusing on a newly published report comparing the Java and .NET job markets in Poland. The host, Krzysztof Kempiński, introduces the episode by emphasizing the report's fresh data and practical insights for IT professionals. Łukasz explains the report's methodology, which gathered data from over 20,000 applications and 1,800 job offers spanning from January 2023 to September 2024, using quarterly comparisons to show trends. He notes that Java and .NET were chosen because they are the dominant backend technologies, supported by large corporations like Microsoft and Oracle, which value their stability and mature ecosystems. The report reveals that Java accounts for 26.6% of programmer job offers in 2024, up from 25.5% in 2023, while .NET increased from 11.8% to 12.7%, maintaining a roughly 2:1 ratio in favor of Java. Both technologies show stable demand despite an overall slowdown in IT, with Java peaking at 213 offers in Q3 2023 and dropping to 150 in Q3 2024, while .NET peaked at 107 offers in Q2 2023 and fell to 80 in Q3 2024. Junior positions are scarce, with only about 20 offers per quarter for both technologies, but mid and senior roles are more abundant, though numbers have declined slightly. The average number of applications per job has surged, especially for remote roles, with junior Java remote positions attracting 200 applications, triple last year's figures. Technology stacks are discussed, highlighting Spring's dominance in Java and Microsoft tools in .NET, with both ecosystems showing strong demand for frontend skills like React and Angular. The episode also touches on remote work trends, noting that remote offers receive significantly more applications despite employers preferring office-based roles. Salary data is presented, showing that .NET B2B mid-level contracts pay nearly 19,000 PLN, slightly more than Java's, while employment contract salaries are comparable. Candidate salary expectations have generally fallen by 1,000-2,000 PLN compared to the previous year. The conversation concludes with practical advice, such as applying for jobs in December or November to avoid peak competition months like January and February.
