No one takes a job when they can get a better one.
Define "better."
It's up to the person picking the job, not you, not me. But better paying is part of that to most people. Pretty much anyone would pick the higher paying job between two jobs they otherwise rate as equivalent
That's my point. Pay alone does not make a job opportunity better than another. I accepted my current position for identical pay from my previous position. My current job is "better" because it advances my career goals, and because my old boss was a raging douche bag who is too young and immature to be the boss of anything, and was holding me back from being able to develop myself professionally. People should consider the big picture when accepting a job. Don't just take the quick buck now. Navigate a long term road that gets you where you want to be 5 and 10 years from now.
