Built Armor Framework.

Transcript context

…Which is a great segue to what we're going to be talking about today, which is we did this survey on how people are feeling in tech right now. It's never been crazier. And so, we did this report on just how are people feeling? And this is the second time we've done this. We ran this a year ago. An idea here is we're going to have this yearly tech sentiment survey that's going to track how tech people are feeling. Before we get into the takeaways, give us a little context just on this survey, how you ran it, what were we looking at? Anything people need to know? Yeah, so to your point, this is the second time we're running this survey, which I really feel is unique in the tech industry. I appreciate you for giving me the opportunity and giving us an opportunity, as a community, to learn more about how we're all feeling in tech. I'm not aware of any survey like this, at this scale, Looking at these things. Last year when we ran the similar tech sentiment, the first inaugural tech sentiment survey, the title was Burnt Out But Optimistic. We were seeing fairly high levels of burnout, but also fairly good levels of optimism about where things are going. And we actually followed up on the burnout point and we created the Armor Framework, if you remember. And I'm really glad we did that. This year we surveyed about 6000 people from product, engineering, design, research, pretty much any role, marketing, pretty much any role in tech. And the results were very interesting. So I'm very excited to jump into them. Yeah, just remember when you shared the first draft of the analysis, I was just reading it. I was like, "Holy shit, this is so interesting." And it just feels like it's putting words to the way I feel, the way that I hear a lot of people feel. So I'm really excited that we're doing this.
