Should I stay or should I go? Check out how these workers ranked which factors were most influential in keeping or leaving their jobs.

The Great Resignation (aka the Great Re-Imagination) gave us an era where more people than ever were leaving their jobs. This trend has slowed, but people are relatively mobile when it comes to their career thanks to a job market with plenty of opportunities. Money might be an obvious answer when it comes to why people look for and accept new jobs--but what else is driving these decisions?

Questions:

• This data comes from workers in the tech industry. Do you think the results would be similar for other industries? 
• Career development and advancement potential was the highest rated answer in 3 out of 4 of the surveyed populations. How important is this factor for you when thinking about your career options? 
• From the factors in the survey, which three are most important to you and why?
• Are there any factors not listed in the survey that would impact whether you would keep or leave a job?
