Money and a core tech/domain I want to learn.
These are unlikely to change and are reasonably transferable.
Perks come and go. Co-workers come and go. Culture changes rapidly. Companies move office locations. Corporate policies change. Etc.
I just got a new boss and he has insisted everyone arrive for 9am stand-up. Goodbye flexible working hours.
The last place I worked had a top of the line coffee machine and free lunch. Unfortunately when the coffee machine broke they replaced it with a cheap pod machine and they switched lunch providers to a (IMO) much worse provider.
Another company I worked for in the past moved office locations and doubled my commute (only 10km further away but it meant I had to take a train and then a bus).
In these cases the company I was working for removed $10-20k/year in benefits without consulting me.
I've never even been approached about taking a $10-20k/year pay cut.
