I rank based on what I’m willing to give up for something. I would gladly take 10-15k less to have a lot of flexibility and autonomy, maybe even more. But if I’m not getting that, I need the money instead. It all depends on what you need to stick around and be happy working there.

That is such a practical way to frame it. I think I need to ask myself what I would genuinely trade money for right now. Flexibility and autonomy sound amazing, but I need to be honest about whether I would really sacrifice cash for them.
Thinking about what I dislike at my current job. That's always what I focus on when I'm considering a move. Could be WLB, could be comp, could be growth opportunities. It's always changing.

That makes sense. I keep focusing on what I want more of, but maybe I should start with what is currently draining me. If I am clear on what I do not want to repeat, the ranking might become much clearer.
