lucky you that your guess went well for you. what worked for you, however, may not necessarily work for others.

- nostrademons 13y agoSalary numbers are not much of a guess - they're stated right there in the offer letter. Neither are expenses - you know exactly how money will be going out and can make choices to limit that. What will make you happy is a guess, and it didn't actually work out the first - or second, or third - time that I tried. I'm still evaluating whether my fourth choice works on a happiness level, but if it doesn't, I've got the resources and professional reputation to try again. But in the absence of any useful information about that, why not take the choice that gives you the biggest chance of being able to make more choices later? Picking a job that gives you savings gives you a bunch of options later, should you decide that you hate it, and it also gives you information about what sort of work you like to do. So if your guess works, great, if it doesn't, you have the resources to try again.
