What is most important when looking for a job?
When looking for a job, pay is the most important, closely followed by location. In my experience, it’s hard to judge on all the other factors. I’ve taken positions that sound idyllic at the interview, but on starting the realisation quickly dawns that all is not as it seemed, so the other factors, while important once you’ve started, cannot be accurately judged until then. Of course, I’m generally quite willing to leave very quickly if it turns out the interviewer misrepresented the position, and am usually quite happy to give feedback why.
