Changing jobs can boost your bank balance as well as your career

Among all the chatter about mass movement in the job sector, the fintech industry has not been immune.

In fact, tech has traditionally had a high employee turnover rate of around 13.2% – higher than the average for many other industries. Fast growth and burnout drive this, but so too does the fact that there are attractive offers elsewhere in what is a burgeoning sector.

After a tough couple of years where we all evaluated many things in our lives – not just how we work – lots of fintech professionals are now looking to curate their careers.

Quality of life, less time commuting and other benefits aside, money is also a big motivator. The main reason 23% of UK workers had to look elsewhere this year was linked to salary, and their employers not offering bonuses or pay rises.

In one recent US study of 2,000 workers, 64% of recent job switchers are in a role that is paying them more money, with almost 9% earning at least 50% more than before. It’s a compelling reason to make a move, and if you’re looking for a new fintech role that will improve your bank balance, then we have three below – and for plenty more, you can check out our Job Board.
