I wouldn't work where I'm paid more unless I needed the money. I would rather work with a great team that I get along with, and love the product I work with.

- EduardoBautista 10y agoAll else being equal, would you reject an extra 20k? All of the stuff you mentioned is still part of "compensation".
- philliphaydon 10y agoWhen I lived in Australia, I did some contracting then decided to go back to full time. I narrowed my choices down to 2 jobs, one at 120k, and one at 80k. In the end I picked the 80k one because during the interview they asked me to come in for the day and do a 'test' for a few hours, which was building a small project, then I got to sit with a couple of the members of the team and take them through it. I had a LOT of fun (more fun than I imagined) and ultimately decided to go there. One of the best jobs I've had. Obviously between 2 great jobs then the 20k would be the tipping point. But money isn't the sole reason I work. I love what I do for a living.
