The Newsletter

Every Wednesday we send a market intelligence newsletter that summarizes the week's hiring activity, salary movement, role-category shifts, geography, and featured companies. The same data that powers the /market dashboard, distilled into a scannable email. The most recent issue was sent on Wednesday, June 10, 2026.

What's in every issue

Sections are numbered in the order they appear. Most sections are the same on free and Pro — the differences are called out below and summarized in the matrix further down.

1. TL;DR — an AI-generated factual digest of the week, one bullet per major dimension. Pro sees all 6 bullets; free sees the first 4. The bullets are numbers-only — no editorializing, no marketing voice. If the model fails to return valid JSON, a deterministic fallback assembles bullets straight from the underlying data so the newsletter always ships.
2. Rotating headline — the headline cycles through five dimensions on a fixed weekly schedule, so no single signal dominates the email week after week. The dimension for any given week is deterministic (ISO week number mod 5) and always surfaces a real mover, not a sticky leader:
   • volume_lede — total postings + remote ratio + top hiring metro
   • role_category_shift — Backend / Frontend / Full-stack / etc. with the largest week-over-week share movement
   • location_shift — metro with the largest WoW share movement against the second-place metro
   • experience_shift — seniority level (Junior / Mid / Senior / Staff / Principal / Lead) with the largest WoW % movement
   • salary_spread — role category with the largest WoW p90 salary movement. On these weeks free subscribers see a gated teaser; Pro sees the actual number.
3. Role Category Mix — share split across Backend, Frontend, Full-stack, Mobile, Data, Infra, etc. with the largest mover called out. Pro additionally renders a salary table with p25 / p50 / p75 / p90 per role category in the same visual block; free sees an inline upgrade teaser in that spot.
4. Tech Stack Snapshot — the top stacks by prevalence (share of postings), with week-over-week delta annotated. Free shows 6; Pro shows 12. Pro additionally renders a Co-occurrence panel showing the top 5skills that hire alongside a rotating anchor stack. The anchor rotates across the top 3 stacks weekly so the panel doesn't fixate on whichever stack happens to be most prevalent.
5. Soft Skills — top non-tech skills by demand share (e.g. mentoring, communication, ownership). Identical on free and Pro.
6. Experience Mix — distribution of postings across seniority levels. Pro additionally shows median salary per level; free sees the distribution only.
7. Geo Pulse — top hiring metros + remote / hybrid / onsite split. Free shows 5 metros; Pro shows 10 metros plus median salary per metro.
8. Hiring Intensity — 12-month chart of average tech jobs per hiring company. Identical on free and Pro.
9. Market News — curated weekly stories from the broader tech-hiring news cycle. Free: 3 stories. Pro: 5 stories.
10. Companies & Roles — featured hiring companies with role lists. Free shows 2 companies; Pro shows 10 with longer role lists per company. Pro additionally gets a Saved Search Briefings block here summarizing matches for each saved search.
11. Closing block— on free, the full Pro pitch with an Upgrade button. On Pro, a lighter "Open your workspace" Explore CTA pointing back to /market.

Inline Pro gates

Wherever Pro renders a gated section (salary by role, co-occurrence, salary by seniority, deeper geo, more companies, saved-search briefings), free subscribers see a compact teaser card in the same spot showing concrete examples of what's behind the gate. We surface gates inline rather than hiding them so the value of upgrading is concrete and contextual — not abstract feature copy at the bottom of the email. There's still one main upgrade ask in the closing block.

Targeting the newsletter to a saved search

Instead of the global market view, you can scope the weekly newsletter to a specific filter set by enabling the Newsletter toggle on a saved search. The digest will report on the filtered slice — same sections, just narrowed to the roles, locations, or stacks you care about. See Saved Searches.

Troubleshooting

I didn't receive the newsletter

• Check your spam/junk folder
• Verify your email preferences in Settings
• Make sure you're subscribed — the newsletter is opt-in
• If you recently changed your email, confirm the new address first

The newsletter content looks empty

This can happen if market data wasn't refreshed before the newsletter was generated. It's rare and usually resolved by the next issue.

My newsletter looks different from a friend's

Two reasons. First, the rotating headline cycles weekly, so an issue you forwarded last week leads with a different dimension than this week's. Second, Pro renders extra panels (salary by role, co-occurrence, salary by seniority, saved-search briefings, more companies, more news stories), so a free subscriber and a Pro subscriber see legitimately different versions of the same issue.
