Engineers Seek Quality of Life

摘要

There's a certain stereotype associated with engineers. We've all heard about the pocket-protector-sporting, calculator-wielding, introverted and boring type- lacking that certain joie de vivre commonly associated with more "creative" professionals, such as writers, graphic designers and marketers. Heeding that stereotype, most would conclude that we Cyborg-like engineers wouldn't dream of taking a lesser-paying job just because it seemed like a great opportunity and personal fit. A robot doesn't have feelings, right? What is the top priority for an engineer searching for a new job? Well, according to one of our recent surveys, it's what the job entails. Of 736 respondents, almost 60% said the job itself is their first priority. A meager 19% were most concerned with pay.
