Arthur T Knackerbracket has processed the following story:
Almost nine in 10 software and DevOps professionals have either quit or considered quitting their job during the past 12 months, a new industry report suggests.
The results from Uniting Cloud's Software Engineer and DevOps Industry Report 2022 found that 50% of developers and DevOps professionals have moved roles in the last year. Of the 50% who have not moved roles, 71% had considered doing do.
Of the 400 UK software developers and DevOps professionals surveyed by Uniting Cloud, just 13% had not considered quitting their job for a new role - meaning 87% of tech professionals have either changed jobs in the past year of thought about doing so.
The survey once again highlights the challenges employers face retaining technology staff as hiring competition escalates.
Reasons for quitting given by respondents included taking advantage of high salaries and benefits packages being offered by employers in return for in-demand tech skills, as well as a reluctance to return to the office.
Survey respondents said they would expect to see a 21.5% increase in salary as a result of moving to a new role. According to Uniting Cloud's data, software engineers with 3-5 years of experience can expect a salary averaging up to 64,000, while professionals with both experience in both software development and DevOps can land a salary of up to 84,000.
"Seasoned" professionals with 6-10 years of experience and skills in both software engineering and DevOps see an average base salary of 97,000 - while professionals with the same years of experience in software development alone can expect 82,000.
