I am a freelancer, but this is what I take into account: * Can I work for or with a person that can teach me something new? (Hey Marc, thanks!) * Possibility to travel? * Is my team cool? * Is there a challenge? Am I forced to learn something new? * Is the project/business at least somehow sane? * Am I free about the where and when, as long as it gets done? * Will I be able to get some shares? more on a technical level: * Do they follow best practices like version control or automated testing/builds? * Am I free to choose my tools? * How high is the wtf-rate when reading existing code? Or better: Do I want to spend the next x weeks digging into this? (Hint for rails coders: Do a 'rake stats'.) Hope you will find your dream job soon. All the best.
