Who Are Bangladeshi Developers?
Explore the demographic profile of Bangladeshi developers - where they live, their age, experience levels, and educational backgrounds.
Despite a significant increase in fully remote positions, Developers are mostly concentrated within Dhaka city. We need more decentralization.
Developers located in Dhaka division
Remote work exploded, but 75% still cluster in Dhaka. The revolution happened—but geography didn't change.
This isn't about where developers live. It's about where opportunities exist. Dhaka won. Everyone else is still catching up.
They say "IT Industry is for the young" - looks like it still applies. A staggering 66% are between 20-29 years old.
Developers between 20-29 years old
66% are 20-29. The data confirms it: IT is still a young person's game. But is that by choice or by design?
Only 2.5% are 40-49. This isn't just a young industry—it's an industry that hasn't figured out how to keep people. The shock isn't the youth. It's the missing veterans.
A junior heavy community, well that's good and bad. Very sharp decline after 10 years. That says a lot for the maturity of industry.
Developers with less than 8 years of experience
A flood of juniors—74% have less than 8 years. The industry is growing fast, but is it growing up?
The cliff after 10 years is brutal. Developers are leaving, moving up, or the field is too new. Either way: senior talent is gold. And it's rare.
65% are from Computer science or related field, in our opinion this is positive. While a third is from non-CS degree also hints that opportunity is still diverse.
Developers with a CS-related degree
65% have CS degrees. But 35% don't—and they're still here, building careers. The degree isn't the gatekeeper anymore.
The real story? One-third came from other fields or taught themselves. Formal education helps, but it's not required. Skills beat credentials.
Oh Boy, 98.2% male vs 1.8% female in tech roles. Roughly 25-30% of the tech workforce comprises of women globally.
Female developers in the survey
98% male. 1.8% female. Let that sink in. Globally, it's 25-30% women. Bangladesh? We're not even close.
This isn't a pipeline problem. It's a culture problem. Barriers, bias, and unwelcoming spaces are blocking half the population. The industry is bleeding talent it never had.
