There is a reason for this. This is a true representation of what HN readers want. Rather: > I curated this values list after interviewing dozens of engineers who identify themselves as missionaries, not mercenaries. They believe that team culture and the people they work with are as important as (if not more important than) compensation or company reputation. That being said, I believe the first 3 on your list are probably assumed by those answering. "Of course they will be paid a lot, of course relocation assistance is provided (if not WFH capabilities), and of course health insurance! Those should go without saying..." Though, they should be said because it's the truth.
