How much compensation should matter when choosing a job? Some say better salary means better decision, but others accept lower compensation if future growth looks strong. After some years of experience, should compensation match responsibility immediately, or is it worth struggling now for a better future later? What would you choose and why?

The problem is, you can struggle through and still not see that salary match. Instead, you are very far behind because you’ve been settling for years.

I'm not banking on future growth. Every company promises it, few deliver on it. I'll take the money in my hand today.

For me, compensation matters, but time off and how well the team gets along matters to me nearly as much. I used to want to make more sacrifices until I got a job with a great team and manager. Now I really hesitate and think through opportunities with higher salaries because I want to keep my peace

Compensation and benefits matter. I wouldn’t accept a lower paying job just for hoping it can be a better career growth

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
