The vast vast majority of developers work in small businesses or start ups.

Hiring managers who do that pretty much exclude the majority of developers.




No one else works in startups obviously. Just devs.

By small business I assume you mean self employed within Ltd Companies (LLC) which are small businesses in name only for tax efficiency. So much so the Government is trying to ban the practice with the use of disguised employee declarations.


No I mean digital/marketing agencies. Web Development agencies, Mobile App Agencies, etc.

In my area, these are the biggest employers.
