Some Top Marketing Executives Don't Like Their Jobs Either -- But That's Where Any Similarities End
Stamford, CT (PRWeb) January 23, 2007 -- Anderson Analytics today announced the results of its exclusive survey of highly successful marketing executives. Anderson worked with Marketing Executives Networking Group (MENG), whose members must satisfy the minimum base salary requirement of $150,000, to delve into the minds of the highest ranking marketing professionals.
"The survey was a unique opportunity to get inside the minds of an elite group of senior executives," said Tom Anderson, managing partner of Anderson Analytics. "We found that these execs are a highly recruited group of people, and sometimes, not coincidentally, they are more likely explore other job opportunities."
Some results of the Marketing Executive survey were not surprising:
• 74% of the positions being considered by the respondents were at compensation levels over $200,000.
• 84% of members have Fortune 500 company experience.
• 70% have a Graduate or Post-graduate degree; among these over half received them from a Top-20-Business School. 21% have attended an Ivy League school at some point.
Other results indicate that these highly paid executives aren't likely to stay in one place for very long:
• 72% of the members surveyed have worked with an executive recruiter within the past two years to explore specific opportunities.
• 11% of members are in a period of career transition, additionally, another 37% of the members who are currently employed are exploring other opportunities.
• 61% of these senior marketing executives are likely or extremely likely to look for a new job in 2007.
• Only 69% of senior marketing executives are relatively happy in their jobs (6-10 in a 10-point scale).
"There is a lot of variance in job satisfaction", said Tom Anderson, "It's a wonder more companies don't investigate the key drivers of employee satisfaction, the benefits on retention and ROI can be significant!"
Richard Guha, Chairman of MENG, said of the project "Anderson Analytics is a market research firm that knows how to elicit honest feedback on sensitive topics, and thus is able to deliver for us a truly deep understanding around issues such as job satisfaction, compensation, recruiter involvement, etc."
