In a Poll, 43% of Millennials in 36 Countries Say They Plan To Leave Their Jobs Within Two Years (qz.com)
A poll by Deloitte with more than 10,000 millennials across 36 countries found that 43% of them are planning to leave their jobs within two years, while only 28% are looking to stay beyond five years.
I said "excellent". No company would let an employee like that go. There would be no point. The problem with you people is you think everyone is "excellent".
Sure they would. If the "excellent" employee is being payed what they are worth, the company might decide that 2 mediocre employees could do the same job cheaper. Or maybe even farm it out to a bunch of barely passable contractors in Bangalore.
Same here. Finished college in 2001 and kept the job I started as an intern in '97 through 2012. I only left because of a merger I didn't like the smell of. I've been at my current job doing roughly the same kind of work as the first one for five years. I suppose I could have a slightly higher salary if I jumped around more, but I don't know if I would be as happy.
I live in France. From a colleague who worked in the US and came back to France doing the same job, he earned about 3 times more in the US. However, he spend about half of it for the various insurances needed to get to the same level of health and social care that we get "for free" in France.
So when it comes to work and money, he is 50% better off in the US. He is a competent developer.
It is anecdotal evidence but I think it reflects reality. In the US, you need to pay for your safety net, but earnings are, on average, high enough for you to afford it and keep some extra. What I find interesting however, is that even if we get better (and mandatory) protection from the state, we seem to be more into savings and less into debt. The "normal" way of thinking is save to buy, rather than buy first and pay back later. For instance, US-style credit cards are almost nonexistant (what we call credit cards are closer to what you call debit).
