Thanks to everyone who participated in our recent survey on job satisfaction! We asked a few questions about current employment status, length of employment, and general satisfaction, and we got some great feedback – findings are summarized below.

(On a related note, if you haven’t seen our latest survey on job prep, check it out here!)

Respondents came from a wide range of completion years (1983 to 2016) and professions (tenure/tenure-track faculty, administrators, researchers, etc.). The majority of our respondents were employed full-time at the time of this survey, and most had been working in their current position for at least one year.

Job satisfaction among our respondents was generally high, but most people were open to potentially changing positons in the next five years. Stability was a recurring theme, with many respondents negotiating complex trade-offs between job security, flexibility, and geographical preferences.  Financial instability and concerns about fair pay were also noted by some of our respondents.

Feel free to leave us a comment below, and consider participating in our current (and future) surveys – we appreciate your input!
