Pure front vs Fullstack
Fullstack is the #1 tech role by volume (HelloWork). But the exact “pure front vs fullstack” split in French ads exists in no public source — I measure it myself.
The scissors effect: postings shrink, AI mentions soar
AI didn’t kill tech jobs — it shut the entry door. Juniors sit where the two blades cross.

Index base 100 = Feb 2020, Indeed US/global (software-dev postings −34%; AI mentions +134%). The FR × pure-front version is the most differentiating public gap — own collection (v2).

Freelance front-end daily rate by seniority
Three readings, same average rate (€536) while the number of front-end freelancers on Malt keeps rising (18,079). A junior at €299/day still isn’t profitable vs a salaried job.
Average · 536 €/j
Malt’s barometer is a rolling 3-month window, so it reacts slowly. Median front-end salary ≈ €40k (WeLoveDevs, self-reported, unchanged).

The data grows every month
What I don’t publish yet — because the clean number doesn’t exist in any public source. I build it, snapshot after snapshot.
Winning stacks
In France, Angular + TypeScript + (Java or .NET) opens the most doors. The measured frequency of each combo comes with my own collection.
Seniority breakdown
The direction is clear — the junior gate is closing (−19% APEC, 67% of firms). The exact split of postings by level? I’m building it, snapshot after snapshot.
Every month
These numbers move — I publish the analysis every month.
Dated snapshot, public sources, personal read. Follow the observatory to watch the French front-end market move for real.
One rule: no invented figures. Every data point = a dated public source. Volatile or unsourceable numbers aren’t published — they move to “soon”.
