Job satisfaction can be understood as the perception that an employee creates based on the conditions of their workplace and the experiences accumulated therein; it has been described as an influential factor in job retention. However, research is insufficient in the case of university students who work and study simultaneously, so the study was aimed at knowing the experiences of a sample of students from the Juárez Autonomous University of Tabasco about the conditions they face in the labor market and its relationship with job permanence based on perceived satisfaction. The results point to a notable lack of attention due to the limited information that exists in this regard and indicate the search for additional income and the acquisition of work experience as the main reasons. The results of the analysis show the need for corrective measures for an adequate environment aimed at the professional development of young people, which will contribute to job satisfaction and permanence.
