Title: OT: Research Question

Pay is important, obviously, but I’m now more interested in the overall strength of the company I work for, and a good stream of challenging projects to work on. I don’t know what the median age is of the folks on this list, but I suspect it’s probably at least a little younger than me (42) – maybe I’m completely wrong though. I’d be interested in knowing that. The reason I bring up age is that I’m no longer interested in jumping around from one company to another. I like where I am, our management is among the most respected in our industry, and what little politics I do endure, my immediate boss does a great job of shielding me from.   So what do I want now?   Challenging work (variety) Recognition Training to keep an edge (formal [classroom] and informal [this list is a major resource]) Opportunity to play with new things (new to me that is, e.g. Linux - I don’t want to get pigeon-holed) Competitive pay Plenty of time off to play with my Triumph   If I could change one thing about work life, it would be NO MORE CUBICLES ;-)   Mark
