What this listing does not tell you

Listed 14 days, which is recent for this board. Of the 114 evals and benchmarks roles this board has watched from listing to removal, 22% were gone from their employer's careers page by day 14, and the median came down after 56 days. That is a description of other listings that have already ended, not a prediction about this one: this board records when a listing disappears, never why, and a posting still up is not on a clock it can see.
