    Just wondering, if your pay package is less than your peer but having a lot of work(variety of technology, challenging work and so on.. = Opportunity) how would you gonna cope with that. Nevertheless, appreciate for being honest my friend!!! Rate you a high FIVE :laugh:

    Thanks, Arindam D Tewary

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

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 I opted for Opportunity over Pay, because, honestly speaking, I would not prefer to work on Outdated technologies or to do Mechanical work for higher pay.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

                              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! :)

                                        Just reading through to make a similar comment. My last job was 5 minutes from my house, and I was there when my daughter was born so was perfect for me. I stopped a lot longer than I would have done because of the ease of getting home, lack of travelling time as I grew to hate the job I was doing and a lot of the people there. Now I have a 30 to 40 minute commute (nothing compared to many I know), but my working time is flexible and I have the opportunity to work from home if needed. I would have to be offered a lot more money to consider giving up the work life balance as it is called here.

                                        Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
