45% of young people in Bulgaria prefer to work for a Bulgarian employer, according to a nationally representative survey conducted in May by online research agency JTN and Bulgaria Wants You (a platform that aims to provide development opportunities for young Bulgarians in their homeland). 

The results show that the vast majority (89%) see their professional and personal development in the next 5 years in Bulgaria and believe that they can get better chances for career growth here. Respondents are of the opinion that foreign employers hire more employees for executive positions in Bulgaria, while Bulgarian companies are looking for more ideas and give a chance for creativity in work. According to the research, young people define a monthly salary of 613.55 EUR as too low to start work, and as a desired remuneration in the next year they indicate a little over 2,198.56 EUR (after taxes). Besides adequate payment, more and more people point to a good balance between work and personal life as a motivating factor.
