Work-life balance tops the list of what creative professionals are looking for a job with 75% citing it as a top factor, according to a survey by marketing/creative staffing provider Cella. The survey also found that 90% are interested in working remotely at least some of the time and that remote work is the most-desired perk.

Cella’s survey included more than 400 creative, marketing and digital professionals. More than 80% of respondents were millennials or members of Gen X.

It also found more than 40% of respondents are considering leaving their current company and 51% are so unhappy that they would take the first opportunity to make a lateral move. Concerns with their current positions included poor leadership and management as well as toxic environments.

Other findings in the report include:

  • 45% would accept a job offer if they liked the potential manager even if the salary was 5% to 10% lower than what they expected.
  • 56% believe that conducting more than three interviews with a candidate is too much.
  • 60% of job seekers in the creative space rated a positive policy on diversity, equity and inclusion as important or very important.
