This 'best job' of 2023 pays over $100k, offers remote opportunities and doesn't require a degree.

 A growing wave of layoffs might be sweeping through Silicon Valley, but the hottest job on the market right now is in tech: full-stack developer.

Full-stack developers claimed the top spot in Indeed's annual ranking of the 'best jobs in the U.S., thanks to a strong 10-year outlook and increasing demand for these skilled professionals across several industries. Indeed also assessed salary and percentage of remote/hybrid job opportunities, among other criteria.

Not only that this job pays well - the average mean salary for full-stack developers is $129,637 per Indeed's research - but it also offers a lot of workplace flexibility. At least 50% of the listings for full-stack developers on Indeed's database have remote/hybrid options.

The demand for full-stack developers, whose main responsibilities include building the front end and back end of a website or application, writing code, and maintaining the software, has transcended the tech sector in recent months.

"We're seeing the highest paying job availability and opportunity for full-stack developers, almost twice as much as any other roles on the lists," Kristen shah, a career expert at Indeed, says "When it comes down to it, every company today is a tech company - and full-stack developers possess a unique skill set that can benefit companies beyond the tech industry."

Health care, education, finance, e-commerce, and government, all of which need full-stack developers to build up their business's online presence, are just some of the industries hiring for these positions "Like Crazy" according to Megan Slabinski, a Seattle-based tech jobs expert at Robert Half.

"More and more, companies have been hiring full-stack developers to reduce headcount on their application, development, or general web teams,"

YOU CAN BECOME A FULL-STACK DEVELOPER WITHOUT A COLLEGE DEGREE.

most hiring managers prioritize technical expertise over an educational background, Slabinski says, looking for skills such as writing code, using programming languages like Python or JavaScript, and designing applications or websites, on your resume.

If you're interested in picking up some basic tech skills, you can build your expertise through online courses, coding boot camps, or certificate programs.
