If I get paid a lot and my name is never widely known, I'd be quite content
Purposeful work.
How about purposeful work plus reduction of current pay by 30%
My good looks
I also value you for your looks
As a young professional, I value pay the most and know as I get older that will change most likely.
When I was in college I valued prestige a lot because I equated it with money. Once I got to the real world I realized prestige is not necessary and you can get paid without it.
Being able to add value and be recognized for that value.
Money and work life balance. I'm here for a good time not a long time
Thanks for the info :). looking at switching my current firm that doesn’t care about wlb at all
Definitely pay. I have friends that have never even heard of McKinsey, let alone understand it’s prestige. Everyone understands money
Was moreso making the argument that prestige is extremely subjective but sure, I have no shame in that
Pay. Only making 72k as an analyst😩
You sound like Francis Underwood on House of Cards
Pay is most important up to a certain threshold. After that it’s WLB. After that it’s purposeful/interesting work. After that prestige
C.R.E.A.M
Respect
Probably work life balance and pay, in that order. Prestige not so much. I have plenty of friends in different consulting firms and I’ve noticed that the most stressed and overworked are the McKinsey ones. Countless times one of my best friends has missed friday night plans bc of work and once had to leave a weekend outing bc their manager texted them. At Accenture I’ve never experienced the intensity and pressure that my friends describe, plus the projects are just as cool if not more interesting. I’m aware that these friends get paid more (for now at the analyst level I’m at 79.5k and they’re at 90k) but I also know from previous work experience that terrible hours and stress just sunk me into a bad depression that ended when I quit. For me it’s just not worth it to go back to that dark place and I don’t have a reason to, since I’m happy in Accenture.
Wow...this thread. You know what privilege is? Having a choice between the three.
Fully loaded wages. This considers the balance of compensation and WLB; no use working twice as hard for 30% more money.
Good booze
Check out the Japanese concept of "ikigai" (never tried pronouncing it though).
Here's an article to start

My ex cheated on me. Truly was the best thing to ever happen to me.
Passion. Being able to design and build novel solutions is a game to me. I lean heavy on the tech side, and there are limitless resources online to build cool shit. I could design, code, and implement small scale systems for days.
Traditional SWE roles leave you stuck on long projects, with less room for creativity, and in a culture I don’t really fit in.
A client facing consulting role gives me the flexibility to build whatever I think is best for the client, and the satisfaction of delivering an end to end solution.
So far the money has followed. Not a lot of work life balance, but hey, do what you love right?
Fk yeah my dude, same.
Meaningful work with a big asterisk.
I derive meaning from helping people (GPS) and I can't claim to be doing that well if I'm not making a big impact. And I need power/resources to make a big impact.
How power is allocated often depends on the prestige of your profession and money gives you the freedom to do what you want without fear. Think about how doctors and real world counterterrorism professionals have become untouchable in their fields because of their prestige, for better or worse. So prestige and money matter a heck of a lot.
Good health
