Quality professionals are satisfied, but grapple with issues such as management support and offshore production.
Asked what they find most satisfying about their jobs, nearly half-46%-of Quality magazine readers stated a "feeling of accomplishment." It's a good thing they did because, according to at least a few findings of our Fifth Annual State of the Profession survey, that feeling of accomplishment, coupled with overall higher salaries, will need to see quality professionals through a variety of challenges, including concerns over management support, sufficient staff size and a continuing trend toward offshore production.
