Many in Finance Like No Part of Their Jobs
Published at
iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — If you think people in the world of finance have got it made, a new survey by the executive search and consulting firm Options Group suggests otherwise.
Based on responses from 3,100 people who work in the field of finance, half said they were not happy with their job, the firm for which they worked, their pay and their prospects.
Only 20 percent of those polled reported being happy with all four factors.
And while plenty of people outside of business gripe about the high salaries earned by top executives, it turns out that only half of those who’ve risen to these positions are satisfied with their pay and bonuses.
The level of satisfaction is even worse going down the corporate ladder. Just under four in ten finance executives with six to eight years’ experience felt that their compensation was fair and was what they had expected.
