So, elaborate for us. What was your personal criteria or event that wasn't in the list above but made you decide to prepare to leave?

- paulojreis 11y agoI think the thing about life is that its complexity can't be reduced to a list of criteria.
- iolothebard 11y agoSure it can. That list will just be different for different people.
- paulojreis 11y agoDifferent for different people, different for different points in time for the same people (e.g. when parenting arrives)... Modeling life is hard. :)
- joezydeco 11y agoAnd that's the author's point. He's not trying to declare the official list of criteria, but just point out that, subconsciously, you do have one. And one small change to one value in the decision matrix might be the tipping point to entertain job offers. The sooner you become consciously aware of it, the better.
- eli_gottlieb 11y agoNah, you'd expect Life to be at least Turing-complete.
- coldtea 11y agoParent obviously meant a list of specific criteria applied to everybody. Not to mention that your answer implies that people only do things because of some list of personal criteria -- e.g. that they always take conscious and/or rational decisions.
- Anderkent 11y agoJust the fact that you've been at a given company for a while might be enough of a reason. Even if everything is going well you might want to find out how life looks somewhere else; you can usually come back if it turns out worse, so why not?
