𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 🔹 Recently, there's been a growing demand for Frontend Developers from all of our clients, as they invest heavily into digital platforms. 🔸 Engineers in the space are tasked with creating complex user interfaces for trading platforms, mobile banking apps, and financial dashboards. 🔹 React.js is the dominant requirement, used for over 40% of finance UI projects. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 🔸 Higher demand + growing investment = higher salaries 🔹 UI developers in finance typically make 20% more than in other industries anyway - but demand for skills will drive salaries higher as firms compete for talent. 🔸 Firms are more willing to offer additional benefits to attract top talent - such as flexible working models, school fee support, relocation packages, visa sponsorship + more. If you're skilled in creating intuitive, secure, and responsive user experiences, and want to take advantage of a more candidate-led market, get in touch.
