What factors help me decide where to work?
1. Amount of money the job is paying
2. Just how smart or dumb is the manager and what kind of ego does he/she have. Are they qualified for the position they are "managing" or their current position? Could they ever be qualified? What is their behavior like. Are they whiny, "I have to have my way" types with little education or ethics? Is it tolerable?
3. Are any non-negotiable items like flexible hours, full control of my dev machine, and safe comfortable work environment violated.
4. Is the project likely to move my career forward or is it just something small time like reports.
5. Is the work on a product that brings in revenue.
Advice?
Do not work under people. Be a startup founder.
