Money Influences Cost of Living

Beyond rent and utilities, the cost of living includes things like how much it costs to get your dog groomed and the price of a plain cheese pizza: $14.79 in Buffalo, New York, compared to $8.99 in Orlando, Florida.

According to the study, 82 percent of IT pros select cost of living as a most important factor when deciding where to live. When you compare Gen Z to Millennials, they both rank cost of living as the number one factor when deciding where to live and work.

Affordability shows up again when tech pros rank the top 20 cities where they’d prefer to live, based on CompTIA’s 2018 Tech Towns a report, which ranks 20 cities according to cost of living, IT job opportunity and projected job growth.

“IT pros liked the lower cost of living in areas like Austin and Colorado Springs in comparison to much higher cost of living areas like San Francisco and San Jose,” Carrado said.
2. The Local Economy

The combination of available tech jobs, average tech salaries and projected job growth is another important factor to IT pros.

“We asked IT pros to rank six general factors to get a gauge on what was importance to them,” Carrado said. “The local economy ranked right behind affordability, with 56%calling it a major factor when considering a new place to live.”
How You’ll Know It’s Working

I can’t promise that everyone you invest development time in will stay forever, and as is the case with most good things, results don’t come overnight. With time and commitment, you should begin to see less turnover, more confident and engaged team members, better communication across departments, and employees being promoted or transitioned into new roles.

You can also use the IDP for yourself. When’s the last time you checked in on your own career goals? Whether you’re new to running a company or a team or just want to expand your skillset, it may be worth assessing your own personal development too.
