It also changes with experiences. I used to be SUPER gung ho about work. Dedicated, etc. Then I was laid off.

Changed my whole perspective. Company DOES NOT love you back. If possible, love what you do, and get paid enough to be comfortable.

For instance, my commute matters to me more than just about anything now. I'm 10 minutes from the office and can work from home if I want, and it's actually one of my first thoughts when talking to a recruiter.

Environment matters to some people too more than anything, but for me I want to get along with my boss, like my job most days, not be in the car for an hour a day and get paid enough to pay my bills and have a little extra.

For context I'm 36.
