    1. Pay and work environment (they're equally important - I'm not settling for one) 3. Opportunity (I can create my own - I work on pet projects if work isn't challenging enough) 4. Company

    There are some really weird people on this planet - MIM.

        If the order in your post is your preference then I can only assume that you are independently wealthy. :)

                    Arindam, I can show you several cases in my organization and even my previous organization where a lateral SE is paid higher than SSE or an TL getting paid higher than Manager. I opted for Opportunity over Pay, because, honestly speaking, I would not prefer to work on Outdated technologies or to do Mechanical work for higher pay. Anyways, it is an individual perspective, and I respect you perspective/opinion. :)

                        You are absolutely correct my friend. :laugh: But my experience, give a fair chance to everyone, most people goes for money or "high pay", some succeeds, while some compromises with other compensation !!! But I am sure you might be the person who never runs after money !!(and exception defines the rule :-O ) :laugh: You rock man!!

                                I presume you are not commenting ironically, as the "laugh" icon is a bit confusing to me. Anyways, I take the comment in positive manner. I appreciate your views. 5 from me!

                                      1. Pay 2. Pay 3. Pay 4. Pay I work to live, not live to work. Plus I'm a contractor and we're all mercenary buggers anyway! :)
