To be honest, after speaking with a lot of people who work in the industry and have several years of experience. I don’t find these results to be surprising. Especially meaningful work/make a difference and benefits being the lowest. A lot of people in the field are so busy trying to excel in the latter and get promoted after a few months or maybe 1-2 years that the three listed above don’t make a difference. People are more focused on career growth and development instead of the actual work they are currently assigned. They go on in the mindset that this is a temporary job and i need to excel and get promoted. So the efforts they put in have nothing to do with meaningful work and making a difference. It’s for your own benefit and moving up the latter which is completely fine. But sometimes when people who are actually passionate about the work don’t get the chance to work on that project or task. So in short its a business and the results are not surprising at all. My personal would is be recognized/values and respected. That is one thing I look for when it comes to opportunities and my personal work life currently. That is what keeps me motivated to learn more and give whatever opportunity becomes available to give it my best to be recognized/valued/respected in my field
