I did an informal pool on the whirlpool forums on why people changed jobs last.
| Old job was too boring | 7 | 28.1% |
| Didn’t fit in or didn’t like the company culture | 4 | 16% |
| Got a better offer elsewhere | 5 | 20% |
| Didn’t like specific people (boss/fellow employee) | 7 | 28.1% |
| Wasn’t paid enough | 7 | 28.1% |
| I was made redundant | 5 | 20% |
| The job was temporary | 2 | 8% |
| Other | 2 | 8% |
Whirlpool is a forum for people working in ‘IT’ in Australia. The results are by no means conclusive, but it seems like there is no clear reason why IT people switch jobs. Boredom, salary and people were voted most, but given the number of people who voted, they’re not clear cut dominant reasons. What I should have added to the pool was stress and not enough benefits, because those two reasons and salary are the three top reasons for job disatisfaction.
