It may seem like a no-brainer: leave your current job for another company that pays 20% more.\u00a0But\u00a0while most people would do it, 1 in 5 would not.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the latest reading of an ongoing\u00a0query<\/a>\u00a0by Comparably<\/a> shows\u00a0us that some people, even when offered an extraordinary raise, see more potential in staying at their current company. The latest reading is as of Aug. 10 and includes the responses of more than\u00a010,000 workers in the technology industry.<\/p>\n

By department<\/b><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the breakdown by department. Note that those in executive roles and HR were more likely than others to forego the opportunity, while those in product and design\u00a0were most likely to go for a 20% increase.<\/p>\n

By city<\/b><\/p>\n

The ranges on a city level were far less drastic than on a department level, but still interesting. Eighty-four percent of respondents in Austin and D.C. were most eager to jump ship for a 20% boost — the most in any city. Seventy-seven percent of workers in San Francisco\u00a0would jump ship.<\/p>\n

By\u00a0education level<\/b><\/p>\n

People with their bachelors or master’s degrees appeared most eager to jump ship for a 20% pay boost.<\/p>\n

By age and ethnicity<\/b><\/p>\n

Responses were equivalent across people of all ethnicities and ages, except for the 60-plus crowd, where a 20% salary increase seemed to hold less allure.<\/p>\n
