I asked a couple friends and relatives on what made them choose where they are and what will tempt them to the next job, below are some of the responses, the answers were subjective as I hadn't provided any list to choose from.I have fine tuned and categorized them for convenience.
More facts on the demography
* Sample Size : 10
* Place of residence : Overseas ( Asian Indian working either in USA/UK)
* Age range : 25-35 barring one, 40+
* Industry representation : All IT barring one, Banking(Govt.)
* Job seek status : Passive ( none of them are actively searching )
On factors that led them to the current employer, brand, location, overseas assignment, growth potential, stability and pay drew equal response. Variety of other reasons were given by the group which you can see below
