When choosing a job, salary is the most important consideration. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, employers

offer

a larger list of benefits than ever before.

However

, for most people salary is the most important factor, when considering an

offer

. It is disagreed, that

this

should play the main role when making a career decision.

Instead

, work environment and growth opportunities must come

first

. Obviously, it is understandable why the

job

seeker tends to pay huge attention on the offered wage, all have bills to pay and new toys to buy. Subconsciously, the human mind would prefer a better paid

job

, over others.

For instance

, when receiving a contract for $80 000 and $90 000 annually, a candidate may be more interested in the one that offers higher income.

Additionally

, some candidates may be limited by time with their choice,

thus

not having the ability to study an

offer

.

Although

, more profitable

job

offer

does look better at the

first

glance, it usually will have some kind of pitfall, like fixed salary for the entire term of employment or lack of paid sick leave.

In other words

, an employer may pay more than competitors, but that comes to price, usually it is something like lack vacation or insurance, even a promotion in some cases.

Furthermore

, some companies may try to compensate for the poorly organized work environment or toxic team culture with increased wages. To sum up, candidates will always look for a

job

that pays more.

That is

absolutely normal, as longs as they don't forget to study a contract and learn more about a future employer. These couple of things, will help to ensure that short-term gain, does not come at a price of long-term loss.
