Almost a third of IT professionals want to change careers and move sectors despite the pandemic.
Research from recruitment firm Reed shows that staff are hacked off at employer behaviour, work-life balance and re-evaluated priorities during lockdown.
The number of those looking for new jobs increased to 36 percent, an increase of nine per cent compared to this time last year.
Reed Technology Chris Adcock said: “Without IT teams the overnight switch to working from home would have not been possible – these professionals have been vital parts of keeping the economy going. But many employees know their value or feel that they have been poorly treated at this time – perhaps in part to clocking long hours as transitional periods continue. In this sector, it has never been truer to say that there are some highly talented people looking to jump jobs, or who have been made redundant as a result of the current climate.”
