#32305 — MARKET INFO: Last year 22% of all Java-Developers in Belgium changed their job

I'm recruiter in IT-Development in Belgium and a recent LinkedIn survey showed us that last year 22% of all Java Developers in IT changed their job
I find this very striking to be honest, and I would like to have your opinion about that.

This survey shows us as well that the most important elements for them in a job are:

1) Colleagues  (59%)
2) Work/life balance (55%)
3) Challenging work (53%)
4) Excellent compensation (52%)
5) Development (46%)
6) Careerpath (43%)
7) Flexibility (42%)
8) Superiors (25%)

What could be a factor for you to change your job?
What should be offered in the job to grab your interest?

Thank you to give me some insight!

Charlotte

I'm in America so I can't speak for Belgium but in career decisions:
1) minimum compensation (does it pay the bills)
2) colleagues (can we get along)
3) schedule (is it standard 8-5 or how many non-standard hours are expected)
4) reasonable commute
5) work load (is it stressful? is it challenging?)

If it meets the basic requirements then we look at the other factors.  Are there 2 or more positions?  Does one offer significantly more compensation?  What sort of companies?  What sort of technology?  Where could it leave me in 5 or 10 years?

Cool! 
Thanks for your answer!

Would it attract you more if there where more positions open or just the opposite?

The job market is typically supply and demand, so I don't think the number of job openings would affect whether anyone would apply, but as the ratio gets skewed (more good jobs, fewer good applicants) one would expect a higher chance to actually get the job as well as higher compensation.

I believe my salary is relatively low for my skills and experience, but in my town there aren't a lot of good jobs, and I do get the 8-5 M-F schedule and a relaxed work environment.  A lot of the ones that pay a lot more expect nights and/or weekends and/or have much higher stress.
