Tech brothers and sisters, whether you're happy with your current job, or looking to jump ship to another company soon, I WANT to hear from YOU!

I'm a finishing up my master's degree with a research project, and I'm running a short 5 mins survey, focusing on tech professionals based in Malaysia - and what makes them stay with / leave their employer.

So if you...
- are BASED IN MALAYSIA, and...
- code for a living / manage an engineering team,

Please help out to fill in this survey: Survey On Retention of Tech Professionals


Findings will be shared back to the community (on DevKaki and here) once I've completed the analysis, so that we can start having better conversations about our work.


Looking forward to hearing your opinion, and thank you all so much! biggrin.gif

what is IT profesional means?

my duty is to fix printer, load paper to printer tray, add printer to PC, and my salary is 10k.

is that consider it profesional?

Generally it means people who code for a living i.e. people who work in the software side of things, but I guess hardware support can be considered tech as well. Sounds like you could belong in Tech Support function, which is also one of the job functions listed in my survey!

aiyo so people manage to maintain server, server admin and handle network not consider as it profesional?

based on your description, it profesional is only for who work in software line.

People working in infra (things like server administration and network configs as you mentioned) are considered IT professionals too, we call them Site Reliability Engineers and Network Engineers

Why need to sign in to fill up the survey.

Ah sorry bout that, this is actually to deter people from filling in my survey more than once.

Technically you could do so if you used a new email, but I wanted to ensure that people do not accidentally respond twice to this survey. Once is enough biggrin.gif
