It's getting hot in the United States and U.S. job postings requesting ISTQB/ASTQB certification are hot, too, hitting a new record! Here are a few data points that caught our eye:
The demand is strong from coast to coast.
The jobs tend to be in larger cities, but there are also dozens of remote-work opportunities.
Positions are available at every level.
A wide variety of industries are represented.
Top job titles included: QA Analyst, Software Quality Engineer, and Quality Assurance Associate but there were many others.
It's a good time to be certified by ASTQB if you are looking for a job or a promotion at your current company because of the extra benefits only ASTQB & AT*SQA can give you (see our Top 5 favorites)!
