I had a recruiter ask what would make me move, and I hesitated. In the current market... money money and Money matters first and foremost but so does leadership, stability, and feeling valued. How do you rank what actually matters to me without defaulting to salary?

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.
