For many people, it\u2019s probably \u2018money\u2019 or maybe companies like \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u2019 or \u2018Google\u2019. However, these topics don\u2019t really reflect the work that developers do or the ways in which they view their career or their life. In fact, while only 8% of developers in Europe want to work for a FAANG, 35% want to work in an industry that\u2019s working towards a good cause.<\/p>\n<p>We conducted a survey to find out what developers in Europe really care about. You can find the full report <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cult.honeypot.io\/developer-ambitions-2022\/ambitions-europe\">here<\/a>, but below are some of the key findings about developers\u2019 career ambitions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"26_of_developers_are_driven_by_the_desire_for_personal_satisfaction_and_pride\"><\/span>26% of developers are driven by the desire for personal satisfaction and pride<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A career is more than just the work you do for eightish hours a day, especially for developers. Careers in tech mean having to stay on top of new trends and regularly upskill or learn new languages. So what keeps developers going and striving, year after year? The number one reason is personal satisfaction and pride. On the other end of the spectrum, the least popular answer is to build a network or gain status.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"
