That's a very good suggestion Sergio.
I'm in the "Esteem" phase, and considering this in my decision.

Done that already. Criteria where weighted, scores for each criteria was distributed, total score was calculated.

How about learning and growth?

Don't forget the amount of stress each position could create. Look at stress from three dimensions: relational (with spouse, partner, children, etc.) personal (unhealthy lifestyle), and work (tight deadlines, quality of work, etc.). You could have a great paying, prestigious job that is highly stressful. See more in my article http://www.projectmanagementadvisor.com/bl...decision-making

My first factor would be company culture. If the culture is toxic, nothing else matters. If the culture is great, the other factors, such as pay benefits and stress will work out.
