Usage Note

Cotizado derives from cotizar (to quote a price on a market), so it literally means 'market-priced' and by extension 'sought-after' or 'prestigious'. A profesional muy cotizado is a highly sought-after professional. The word carries positive connotations of rarity and desirability, distinct from the neutral valorado.

Examples

"Los ingenieros de datos son muy cotizados."
