How we counted
Entry level here means one of three things. The job's level reads as intern, entry level or junior. Or its title says intern, graduate, new grad, entry level, early career or junior. Or it asks for 2 years of experience or less and isn't judged senior.
Software means five job types: software engineering, backend, frontend, full stack and mobile.
Skills are counted in jobs long enough to read. Senior means a senior, lead or principal level in the same job types.
