Agreed. I couldn't answer this question without the answer being a very complicated and branching flowchart. If I were choosing between a job that paid $120k and one that paid $110k, the money wouldn't even factor into it, but if I were choosing between a job that paid $110k and $250k, then the money would certainly factor into it. Which isn't to say that I'd automatically choose the $250k job, but that the $110k job would have to score MUCH better on other factors. The criteria I'd use in evaluating which job to take is way too fluid to be boiled down to a list of 3-5 things.
