Age counts days since the employer published the posting. Around a third of
sources publish only a coarse date such as “30+ days ago”, so the older end of
this distribution is less precise than the recent end. It is the most-cited
signal that a role may not be actively filled — a signal, not a verdict.

Based on 11,495 postings that disclose pay
— 6.0% of this slice.
Fewer than one posting in six publishes a range here, and the ones that do are not a random sample. Treat these figures as indicative of the disclosing minority, not of the market.
The count at the top is every current posting that mentions C++, across all roles and locations we track.
What does C++ pay?
The percentile table shows the advertised range. Only postings that publish a salary are counted, and the disclosure rate is printed next to the median.

Figures cover 191,577 postings collected from public company career pages and applicant
tracking systems, last recomputed 2026-09-02.
“Posted N days ago” counts from the date the employer published the listing, not from when we
first saw it. A posting that has been up for months is a common sign it is not being actively
filled — though a long-lived listing is a signal, not a verdict.
