A new MyPerfectResume survey of 1,000 U.S. workers finds that more than half of employees now define career success in terms of stability, balance, or health, rather than traditional advancement. According to the Stability Shift report, 53% say their definition of success has shifted toward balance, health, or reliable work, while only 10% say success now centers on climbing the ladder or pay growth.
While workers still care about income, many are measuring success less by title and more by whether their career feels sustainable.
Key findings include:
- Success is shifting toward stability: 53% say their definition of success has moved toward balance, health, or reliable work.
- Advancement is no longer the dominant goal: Only 10% say success has shifted toward climbing the ladder or pay growth.
- Confidence about future progress is cautious: Just 29% feel very confident they will be more successful by the end of 2026.
- Income matters most: 47% cite it as the top factor in their sense of success.
- Balance and stability outrank titles: 42% cite work-life balance, and 31% cite job stability, compared to 22% who cite job title or seniority.
