State Of Dev InMorocco 2021 🇲🇦

In November 2021, 1098 developers from Morocco 🇲🇦 told us about their jobs satisfaction, salaries, and community contribution, how they learn and level up, which tools they’re using, and what they want to learn next.

1.Overview

The annual survey on Software Developers in Morocco provides invaluable data on a community and their professional paths. Being the second year is even more interesting as we can draw trends from last year results. Following are a few selected takeaways:

  • Developer landscape is constantly in motion, and pandemic or not, coders are a restless crowd. They want to learn next-gen languages: Kotlin, Rust and Typescript
  • Popular languages and platforms still hold steady: Javascript, Java, Python and PHP.
  • Dedication and passion is strong, to a point that many confess to weekly overtime, maybe at the expense of mental health.
  • New data on employability reveals job are easier to find in 2021 than 2020
  • New data on location shows Morocco is a coder nation, with half in the two biggest cities and another half in the rest of the Kingdom

With many more to discover, please take a deeper look in the sections below and give us your feedback and suggestions.

Sidenotes

Finally, we noticed this year a dip in contributions, and we learned that launching during a virtual conf like BlaBlaConf is definitely an audience boost. We hope it was only a road bump and next year will thrive even more.

⚠️ Since all data is open, we encourage everyone to dive into the interactive playground. We would be glad to hear about some new findings!

A word about methodology

As part of our core principles, all collected data is anonymized. Raw results are also available under the BY-NC-SA 2.0 license. Same thing for the website code, we put everything on GeeksBlaBla GitHub organization.

It’s important to note that not all fields were mandatory, so the results and graphics may not reflect the respondents’ total number for every question.

We want to thank all our amazing contributors and everyone who helped share the survey to get more submissions. We’re looking forward to your feedback and for you to share the results with your network.

2.Profile

The objective of this first section is to get insights about the profile and the skills of the people working in Software Engineering in Morocco. The majority of the people that answered the survey are men. Also, the majority of the respondents are junior developers with less than 3 years of experience and most of them are living in Morocco with plans to work abroad in the next 2 years.

Gender

As can be seen, the results are very similar to last year's, more than 80% of the people that filled this survey are men.
