*This update follows—and compares against—our 2024 Outcomes Report*.
Six months into 2025, we’ve consolidated verified hiring and salary data for graduates in Latin America, the United States, and Spain. The numbers confirm two trends we predicted last year:
- Placement speed is improving (average days-to-hire is falling everywhere).
- Salary lifts remain significant, even in a cooling tech market.
Keep reading to see the data.
📊 Job Placement & Salary — LATAM (Mid-Year 2025)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Overall hiring rate (≤ 6 mo) | 81 % |
| Placement rate – Female ∣ Male | 85 % ∣ 80 % |
| Avg. days to hire | 91 days |
| Avg. salary before → after | $3,999 → $15,277 USD |
| Salary increase (median) | +282 % |
Why it matters: faster placement and a 2.8× salary boost signal that LATAM employers continue to value full-stack and data skills—even amid regional currency volatility.

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|

| Avg. days to hire | 93 days |
| Avg. salary before → after | $41,393 → $70,598 USD |
| Salary increase (median) | +71 % |
Why it matters: hiring velocity rebounded sharply—graduates now land roles in ~3 months. Salary growth beat last year's despite widespread hiring freezes.
🌍 Job Placement & Salary — Spain (Mid-Year 2025)

🔍 Cross-Region Insights (H1 2025)

- Gender equity holds: Female placement rates remain ~5 pp above male in every geography, replicating 2024 parity.
- Salary elasticity: LATAM continues to deliver triple-digit percentage lifts thanks to lower entry salaries, while U.S. grads posted the largest absolute dollar gains.
