Speaking as someone who just started his third programming job, and who had a previous unrelated career; the money.

The money and other benefits allow me to subsidize and fund the kind of life I want to have with my family. I know that my children and my wife in our later years will have the resources we need to be financially, physically, and emotionally healthy.




How do you evaluate which companies to join when you're looking for a job? Would salary be your primary factor?

(Asking this as someone who's juggling between Big Co. with RSUs and smaller startup that pays well, but nowhere near as much.)
