THEY SAY THAT MONEY can't buy you love. Apparently it can't buy you job satisfaction either. Although respondents to CONTROL DESIGN'S 10th Annual Salary Survey certainly see the benefits of a decent pay rate, it's still not anywhere near the most important factor in providing you a satisfying work experience. That comes instead from having challenging work, and appreciation for your ability to handle that challenge. Almost half of survey respondents said that challenging work was most important in providing a strong sense of job satisfaction. Next in line was appreciation with 22%, and then salary/benefits with 18%. Only opportunity for advancement came lower, with 13%. And thankfully, two-thirds of you are at least "fairly satisfied" with your job (almost one-quarter "very satisfied").
