11. Most professionals associate career satisfaction
with a good salary, but the importance of salary
varies between genders and generations as well.
12. Men are more likely than women to
equate career satisfaction with a
“good salary” (58% vs. 52%),
while women ranked salary as
equally important to doing what
they love and being challenged.
13. Salary also becomes less important to
professionals as they age: Respondents 55+
were significantly more likely to equate career
satisfaction with “doing what I love.”
14. “Money, prestige and social status are all nice, but they are
not what make a successful career. You have to feel fulfilled,
constantly striving and learning.”
Pamela Rogers, Employment Coach
16. Of those who asked for a raise in
the past year, the number of
women getting them is on the rise:
84% of women who asked for a
raise last year received one vs. 75%
of those who received a pay
increase in 2013.
17. “WHEN MY BOSS ASKED ‘WHY DO YOU
DESERVE MORE?’ I WAS READY!
I deserved more because I had cut cost for the
company that tripled what I wanted in a raise.
I deserved more because I worked 16 hours a
day and never complained.
I deserved it because I earned it.
WHEN YOU EARN IT, ASK FOR IT! Chances are
you are too valuable for them to let go.”
Rachel Goodwin-Juby, Owner at Emergency 911 Equipment

much more productive because I don't have to worry as
much about the work-life balance.”
Lisa Ventura, Vice President of Accounting and Administration
