セクションにリンクYears of Experience
More experience is correlated with a higher salary – up to a point. Past 15 years of experience, the gains become relatively small.
セクションにリンクHigher Education Degree
Having a degree will result in higher income, but interestingly enough it doesn't necessarily have to be related to programming.
セクションにリンクEmployer Count
Respondents have worked for 4.2 employers on average. And while having worked for more employers is associated with a higher income, that correlation does become weaker when controlling for years of experience.
セクションにリンクEmployment Status
While freelancers and independent contractors earn less than full-time employees, it was surprising to see that becoming a founder or an entrepreneur does not result in a significant income increase.
Company employees were also the group most likely to have seen their income grow over the past year.
セクションにリンクWorkplace Issues
It's clear that the top three issues reported here are all interconnected: bad management leads to work-life balance issues, which then leads to burnout.
Gender does seem to have an impact on career issues, with women and non-binary respondents experiencing every issue at a higher rate, especially when it came to mental health issues.
セクションにリンクDiscrimination
While we often think of discrimination in terms of gender or race, the most commonly reported factor is actually age, something that eventually affects all of us.
Breaking down the top 5 causes of discrimination by age range reveals that age discrimination becomes especially prevalent after 50 years old.
セクションにリンクNegative Impact
Among all respondents, non-confrontational approaches such as avoiding colleagues, changing your behavior, or even resigning are the most common coping strategies in response to workplace issues.
The data also clearly shows the impact of gender, with women and non-binary respondents as a whole suffering each negative impact at a higher rate than men.
Race and ethnicity on the other hand do not seem to have a similarly clear-cut impact. In fact, slightly fewer non-white respondents reported having resigned or sought therapy due to workplace issues – although further research would be needed to determine if this is because they didn't feel that need; or because they did but weren't in a position to act on it.
セクションにリンクLayoffs
Despite talks of a tech downturn, the majority of respondents have still never been laid off.
When ranking by country seeing the most layoffs, the U.S. with its employer-friendly labor laws tops the ranking; while countries such as France and Japan appear towards the bottom of the list.
