As young rookies....salary is the main issue. Being able to boast to our course mates about your awesome wages is indeed thrilling.

As we get a bit matured and understand the concept of career growth and start to think about our future, we go for great career with better propects to climb the ladder later.

If you read any Robert Kiyosaki books (Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Cashflow Quadrant, etc) the major theme of his writings is centred upon the notion of "NOT working for money". DOnt get him wrong, he doesnt mean everyone should work for free, meaning volunteering. In fact what he says is that everyone should get their money to work for them, meaning to invest and make ur money do the work. Business is one way this is done. I have read alot of his books. There are somethings I do not agree with him though. Some are quiet practical and can be adopted.

for me i wouldn't opt for "a good fix salary".....if it is fixed then there wil b no increments...hahahah

ok for me job satisfaction is the most important....eventhough my current job pay is around market rate & i could get a better pay elsewhere im still sticking cos of job satisfaction....the environment i work..the people i work with...my dept head...

of course prospects of going up is also considered

yes, i suppose job satisfaction is more important than fixed salary.... besides having a good salary itself could be part of job satisfaction. So job satisfaction is the overall picture. farao
