After you’ve examined all the hard numbers, you’re left with intangibles such as corporate culture and personal “fit” with the company. Decide what you want, what is important to YOU and then follow your instincts. Make sure you don’t ever, EVER take a job only for the money. I’ve done this before and regretted it.

I am a lawyer and have chosen to work for myself, and only part time, doing something I actually enjoy. I could easily earn 3x what I do, and sometimes I envy the "stuff" I see my old colleagues enjoying (prestigious titles, fancy vacations & homes). But I'm able to pick my 7 year old up from school a few days a week, volunteer and actually relax on the weekends. Thanks for reminding me that I should be grateful for my lifestyle and that it's worth the material sacrifices! Wow, thank you so much for that post.

A spouse has such a huge influence on your overall happiness in life - I count myself lucky with the one I found. And I made the same stupid mistake chasing a job for money, I am working my way out of that mistake, but it has been a hard learned lesson!! Ron - I completely agree with your two pieces of wisdom.
