How the lead changes hands

This is the single most dramatic shift in the whole 'Who is hiring?' dataset, and the question it answers is the one every job-seeker now asks first. For a decade onsite dominates and remote is a steady minority. Then 2021 inverts the picture almost overnight as companies go remote-first, and 'hybrid' emerges afterward as the negotiated middle. The relative bands show the step-change vividly. Read the sample postings to watch the language itself evolve, from 'remote OK' to 'remote-first' to the careful hybrid framing that followed.
