That may be a motivator for taking a job, but I suspect is fairly far down the list for leaving a job. Leaving motivations might include: personality conflict boredom too much pressure Personally, the opportunity to do something I had never done before was always the top priority. Employers usually want people who have extensive specific experience. In hiring, my main interest was loyalty. Employees don't get really useful until after the first year. I don't expect them to hit the ground running. I anticipate investing considerable effort in training them. I looked for reasons why they would likely want to stay. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com You can�t have great software without a great team, and most software teams behave like dysfunctional families. ~ Jim McCarthy
