Do you wish you hadn't changed careers?
Gakujo (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo) conducted a survey on the "satisfaction with changing jobs" among people in their 20s who had changed jobs within the last three years. When asked, "Are there times when you wish you hadn't changed jobs?", 50.7% of those who had changed jobs answered "frequently" or "sometimes."

The 1st place that feels a gap is "Difficult to get a raise" (33.0%), 2nd place is "The work was different from what I expected (I can't do the work I expected)" (29.6%), 3rd place is " Human relationships were different from what I imagined” (27.7%). Regarding the ranking, Gakujo said, "In changing jobs, even if the salary level at the previous job is guaranteed at the time of joining the company, or even if the salary is higher than the previous job, there are cases where the salary drops in the second year after joining the company due to the results after joining the company. There are also cases where salary increases are not as high as expected.It is likely that there are many people who have changed jobs who feel that the difficulty of raising wages is different from what they expected because of the difficulty in raising their wages." The survey was conducted online among men and women in their 20s who had changed jobs within the past three years. The period is October 21-22, 2021, and the number of valid responses is 310.
