Curious what your ranking is for the following:Compensation PotentialWork-Life BalanceJob SecurityPerhaps there's something else but those are the three (in that order) that I consider. Hoping to get a few offers soon and share for feedback.

If you are single and young not married . Go for compensation .Newly married compensation + vacation Married with kids : compensation plus wlb.Kids grow up above 6 years.Go for compensation plus. You have more time. Had to pay college fees etc .Introspect when you want to retire .

As a dad with a couple young kids, WLB is probably the most important part of a new offer I consider. My wife and I have stable jobs, income is solid, etc. Not looking for MORE work, just enough work to help me sustain the quality of life I have as I raise my kids.

I'd say none of the above. What matters, and the only thing that matters to me, is what level the responsibilities I am afforded translate to at the next company I interview with. Lead with that, and the three you listed follow.

What matters the most to you when evaluating a job offer? Compensation Potential, WLB, or Job Security?

I would say getting respect is number one. That's comes before anything to me. I have worked at jobs that paid well, but people were shitting all over one another, but they were highly. It was a toxic as fuck environment.

I agree! Thats a non-negotiable for me. If you dont respect me as a person, how do I know you have my best interests when makin business decisions when I'm not in the room?
