Key Reasons of Attrition by Location

Attrition Trends

Startups:

Developers in the Bay Area work in large teams where their jobs are not challenging and often unsatisfactory on a personal level. Hence many developers chose to move to start-ups to add more value to their jobs.

Compensation Disparity:

In the Bay Area, companies like Google, Facebook and other high growth start-ups (Dropbox, Box) often hire talent at inflated salaries. Thus employees often find moving to a new company financially more beneficial than internal growth.

Lack of Ownership:

In Bangalore, the software developers seldom work on product ownership model.

Demand Supply Gap:

Large MNC companies are hiring for key positions and are focused on targeted hiring. This creates demand for good technical talent. A good technical talent in Bangalore will have multiple offers

Start-ups:

Start-up ecosystem in India is improving. Key leaders across technology and management are now joining start-ups for equity and higher compensation (Also ownership)
