and yet, high demand doesn't equate to high comp, most of these languages are race-to-the-bottom markets with low barriers to entry c++ is probably the exception here predict even the Go market will eventually resemble the js market...a massive pool of low-quality positions with mediocre comp |

Searching the job market the past year everything is JavaScript or Python because of the low barrier of entry. With the demand to hire high numbers of people and lack of people, these roles are now at the top of the pay scale.
Maybe it’s AU specific but if I was to take some specialised role requiring deep knowledge and experience, not using JavaScript or Python, I’d be on at least 20% less than a role essentially knocking out a ReactJS frontend or NodeJS crud services.
It’s dilemma I had the last year. Recruiters phoning with somewhat highly specialised roles that interests me, talent pool is extremely small for the roles, only to be told that the pay is at minimum 20% less than what’s available for nondiscript JavaScript/Python roles. Unfortunately for me I need to enjoy work or suffer mentally, and while I have used JavaScript, Python, insert name of frontend/backend framework in either language, extensively, it feels like torture having used better and knowing I can do better.
