What are some of the most important things to you when looking for a new job? For me, it’s time off, the culture, and the pay. However, I’ve noticed as I’ve gotten older, it’s less about the pay and more about being able to keep my sanity and be able to recharge.

That makes a lot of sense. The problem, of course, is that it's difficult know, heading into a job, what the stress levels may be. We can make some judgments, some positions are obviously stressful. But even a position where we think we'll be retaining our sanity can turn stressful. One thing about pay is that it's a tangible number, and at least we know what it is. Other factors are always variable and may be unclear until we're actually in the job.

So very true!

It’s the pay and work life balance for me. If I have to work a lot and there’s no work flexibility, I would not accept that job.

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already). I’m getting my computer science degree, so I would like to do something more technical in the workplace when I graduate. How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
