Every year in the media and on specialized human resources, various ratings of the "Best Employers" appear. This is not to say that we see new logos and company names from year to year, but the industries are definitely changing. If earlier the proximity to natural resources to some extent guaranteed stability and high income, today they are replaced by “digital”. Sometimes it seems that very soon all of us will be swallowed up by the ubiquitous ecosystems, crushing the skeletons of the gas and oil giants.
If you look at the employer rating of the reputable Forbes magazine , then a dozen leaders look very exotic. This is largely due to a set of subjective criteria for selecting participants, including not only statistics on search queries, salary levels, but also the attitude of companies to environmental issues, participation in charitable and social programs, etc.
You may also come across a reputable employer rating compiled by hh.ru experts. And here, the classification “ Most popular among job seekers". And what do we see? Of the dozens of leaders, only one IT company (sic!). And not from Moscow and not with the letter "I" or "M".
In fairness, you can always refer to the rating " The Best IT Employers in Russia " according to Habr.
Actually, everything described above has pushed us to the temptation to conduct a survey among Habr users, what is he, your ideal employer.
To be honest, some of the answers surprised us a little. Please make allowances for the modesty of the sample (less than 300 people) and the "direct hands" of the sociologists we have involved.
When asked about the key factors in choosing an employer, everything is predictable: No money, no honey .
It turned out that more than half of the respondents are potentially ready to leave the country to pursue a career.
At the same time, the largest number of people would prefer to live in the EU, and not in the USA, for example. Also note that there are enough patriots in your country. There are even more of those who would like to build a career in America.
In terms of material reward, the respondents' answers were also very curious. Judging by the statistics, for many IT professionals a comfortable monthly monetary remuneration for the position of a line team leader is 150,000 - 250,000 rubles. Corresponds to your perception of the world?
I was also somewhat surprised by the answers regarding the duration of building a career in one place. It turned out that according to the survey, more than half of IT professionals are ready to change jobs every five years.
We were not at all surprised by the typical employer selection toolkit. When asked what kind of feedback about the employer you are targeting, the respondents answered quite definitely. We all still trust the opinion of colleagues, acquaintances and relatives.
Exactly also, without surprise, we noted the almost unanimity of the respondents on the issue of organizing remote work. This is, undoubtedly, the advantage of a potential employer.
The most polarized answers were to the question about the optimal formats for developing the qualifications of developers.
At the same time, everyone agreed that knowledge and experience are still important. It's hard to argue here.
We hope that the above information did not cause an acute rejection in you. After all, as Benjamin Disraeli said: "There are three types of lies: lies, blatant lies and statistics." We will assume that this article is for informational and entertainment purposes.
