> Currently, 79% of SWEs are seeking their next opportunity.

You mean in the US, right? Still hard to believe.

It’s from October 2023, but I feel it is still relevant.

"79 percent of developers are either actively seeking new job opportunities or are open to the idea"

I mean yeah, I don't know a single developer (employed or not) who ever wasn't "open to the idea" of a new job. This is kind of a meaningless statement.

Hmmm.

I see your point, but if you read the article, this is still 2-3x higher than in previous time frames.

It just means employee loyalty continues to erode to one day match company levels of loyalty to employees.
