> If your primary reason for responding to an ad is based upon salary you are not going to be happy where you work. Salary can be both a filter and a sorter. - I won't apply to a job that pays less than I need to support the life style I want; no other factor can overcome that. - I am more likely to apply for a job that pays more than a different job, but other things are also part of that sort. It is entirely possible for salary to be an important part of what is considered when deciding on a job, even a deciding factor, without it being the only thing or even the primary thing.
