How do US cities compare to European cities when it comes to the average time to hire developers? We compared survey data of Silicon Valley, New York, London, Amsterdam and Berlin with our own Honeypot averages and the results are pretty interesting…

For developers searching for a job, it is quicker, on average, to find one in Europe than in North America. Job hunting developers in New York will wait the longest before finding their next position and developers looking for jobs in London will be the quickest.
