On a scale of one to ten, how important do you think is the salary in deciding whether or not to accept a job?

If the number you gave was low, what other things should be taken in consideration aside the salary ?

i'll give it7 because yes there are more important things to see in job like it is appropriate for you or not, secured or not etc.
but speaking rationally its the salary which is ultimate.
other wise why to do a job and have a Boss on your head rather than to do something for your own?

When you go for a job not see salary, first level of job, approach of job, are you and your family will be protect W/R of security, medical and future study of your child and furtherachivement. Above things multiply with salary, if 1(yes) ans will be 1(yes), if 0(no) ans will be 0(no).

Scale: 6. The salary is important, but not only salary affects the job seeker's decision. Jobseeker should take into consideration also working environment, degree of independence and creativity, and friendliness of the bosses.
