Some people think that a high salary is important when choosing a company to work for, while others think that a good working atmosphere is more important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people opine that the

first

thing to consider while choosing a

job

is the amount of money one can earn; others insist that a healthy and cooperative working environment is even more important. In my opinion,

salary

is certainly important and everyone should be able to earn enough to fulfil their needs and wants;

however

, the size of the pay packet is not more important than other factors like the working environment and the opportunity to grow. In

this

age of consumerism and increasing prices,a good

salary

is important to lead a comfortable life. If people do not earn enough, they will not be able to provide quality education, healthcare or other essential facilities to their family.

This

inability will make them unhappy and dissatisfied with their life and work.

Also

,

this

dissatisfaction will affect their motivation to work hard and may even reduce their efficiency. Obviously, it is important to find a

job

that pays well.

On the other hand

, money is just one of the factors that make people happy and

hence

salary

should not be the primary criterion for choosing a

job

. A healthy and cooperative working environment where one feels wanted and valued is equally or even more important. An employee should feel welcome in their

workplace

and they should have an opportunity to grow. Petty office politics or a rude boss can make the

workplace

hellish and kill the morale of even the most talented and dedicated employees. Working hours are another thing to consider. Everyone should be able to strike a balance between work and life and

hence

hours that an employee spends at the

workplace

should be reasonable. Some high paying jobs have ridiculously long working hours and unrealistic targets which stress out employees and affect their health.

Such

jobs are not worth having even if they offer astronomical salaries. In conclusion,

However

, other factors like the general atmosphere at the

and the opportunity to have a work-life balance are equally important and should never be sacrificed for earning a higher
