#Wanted and #Misunderstood: A Developer Survey 2022

Misunderstanding #1

Job boredom

When bored with their job, developers start looking for a new jobs after just one or two months. However, before making the final decision, they will try mending things with their current employer.

Misunderstanding #2

Discrimination at work

Shockingly, more than half of the survey participants have felt or seen discrimination at their workplace! Expectedly, these incidents are mainly concerning women.

Misunderstanding #3

Toxic environments affect the desire for a job change

Awareness of the negative impact of toxicity grows among developers as one of the key factors for a job change. The traditional factor - salary - is still the most decisive factor, but for not long.
