IT professionals are overwhelmed by long hours and lack of support, and while a higher salary is the most compelling reason IT pros are likely to seek new jobs, also high on the list are a desire for more personal fulfillment, personal/family needs, and less stress.
These were among the results of ITPro Today’s 2024 Salary Report, which surveyed 455 full-time U.S. IT professionals. More than a third (37%) of respondents said they were “likely” or “highly likely” to look for a new job within the next 12 months (Figure 1). That’s 9% higher than respondents to ITPro Today’s 2023 Salary Survey.
