Seattle PM Job Posting Trends - Sept |
 |
 |
September 2010
The month of September opened with a bang with a ton of openings, but then fizzled to be only slightly up from August. This is the second month that the first half of the month led, so if you're looking it appears the early parts are better. Jobs closed are slightly down, which shows the inventory is increasing.
Again, both Microsoft and Amazon led the fray, with Amazon being especially strong. Microsoft posted 21 new jobs and Amazon 18. One other noticable trend was the number of Director postiions, with 8. This is up dramatically from the normal 2-3.

About our postings:
Product Management jobs include the titles Product Manager, Product Marketing Manager, and a few Segment or Category Managers. Jobs could be full time hires or shorter term contract.
The New Jobs Posted line indicates the number of new postings in any given month. Jobs Closed indicates the number of postings removed. It’s hard to say that these were actually hires, as they could also have just been closed with no hiring. The Month Ending Inventory is the total number of open postings on the site at the end of the month.
