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

      Ooops ... does this mean the person who does not opt for "pay" as the first option is "abnormal" :)

            It not based on single job.... i'll choose a perfect key in a bunch. Possibly Pay will show you how is the job & company, etc., So no worries

                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 I opted for Opportunity over Pay, because, honestly speaking, I would not prefer to work on Outdated technologies or to do Mechanical work for higher pay.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!

                              Thanks for the clarification. Possibly vs. Probably - reminds me of the discussion from 'Pursuit of Happyness'. 5 from me!
