There are currently over 7,000 open Quantum Software Engineer positions globally. Not 700. Not 70. Seven thousand.
And most talented engineers have no idea.
While the AI job market is saturated with 116,000+ Data Scientist roles (meaning brutal competition and deflated salaries), the quantum market is fundamentally different. It's smaller, more specialized, and the talent pool hasn't caught up with demand yet.
This is a legitimate opportunity. And if you're a technical professional looking for a role where your skills are actually scarce and valued, the quantum job market right now is probably the best time to move.
