I agree and I would add : you wouldn't know in advance how great a job actually is, when you only know its description. You don't (really) know who you're going to work with, what pain points the company have internally or with their clients, because nobody in their right mind would tell you about it from a recruiting perspective. And obviously you wouldn't know much about the company's future, even funding isn't really a predictor for success.

So yeah salary is the most important common denominator, simply because at the end of the day, it's a written number and you know you're going to get it.
