Junior developers did not participate in the survey as much this year around, with only ٩٪ of respondents having 4 years of professional experience or less.
It will be interesting to see how this AI-native generation of developers evolves going forward, but for now at least the vast majority of respondents had their professional start in a pre-AI world.

Looking at correlations for this question reveals a strong correlation for having worked for more employers, and reporting more workplace issues.
While this could simply be due to respondents experiencing more issues over time, another factor could also be junior hires lacking the perspective to identify problematic behaviors in the first place.

Apart from job insecurity itself, discrimination stands out as the issue most likely to make respondents think they'll have to change jobs in the near future.
It's also interesting to see how factors such as gender can affect workplace issues. For example, while men reported 4.2 different issues on average, women and non-binary respondents checked 4.8 items.

Age is the most commonly reported discrimination factor, but looking at the additional comments left by respondents, it seems it can cut both ways: respondents mentioned both being overlooked for looking too young, and discounted for being too old.
It's also worth pointing out that discrimination can have many forms, and sometimes even pro-diversity initiatives can have negative impacts on the people they're meant to help. As one respondent pointed out, “beinging the token woman is exhausting. I'm expected to be in employer marketing material and provide opinions on all things DEI without compensation”.
Finally, picking more items for this question is correlated with experiencing more ongoing health issues, which is another reminder that workplace issues do not happen in a vacuum.
Link to sectionWorkplace Responses
While ٣٣٪ of male respondents declared never having to take any action in response to workplace issues, that figure falls to ١٨٪ when looking at non-men.
Across the board, the most common responses are avoiding colleagues, changing your own behavior, or simply resigning. But no matter which strategy respondents adopted, these were all reported at higher rates among non-men.
