@ALC so your top3 motivations to come to work are salary, yearly bonus and overtime pay? :D
Sure. I’m seeing too many layoffs (also affected by one myself) to believe in a bigger purpose for a company, unless it’s one you start yourself. And it’s not that the layoffs are necessarily justified, it’s just shit leadership lining their pockets and trying to pull in more investors by lowering payroll.

But like I said, everyone is different and has different expectations.

Also, a lot of my motivation comes from wanting to improve life quality for people, it’s a reason I’ve stuck with pharma, but I’m not going to labor at a shit company when I can do the same thing for more money somewhere with better environment and pay.

Currently sitting in a comfy bank job as team manager, ultimately meaningless work that contributes close to nothing of real value. Today got an offer for a job in law enforcement where I’d actually be required to think again, that has the potential to be meaningful. It’s a 20% step down in salary (probably closer to 30% after bank tries to keep me), 50% step down in terms of the amount of people I’d be managing, plus I’d have to step up my effort by a lot. I figured I’d sit for a year or two longer in the private sector and rest up, raise my kids to be a bit older before going back to real work, but not sure I’ll get a an offer that fits my skills as good as this one. Any advice?
So you'd think more, work a lot more and get paid less? Sounds like a good decision.

I got this kid at my gym, who currently gets paid 15 bucks an hour working outside in the heat, a cush 3 month assignment, doing minimal handy work, which will pays 55k after tax. He initially said yes, but when it was time to start the paperwork he told my boy he can't make it coz Virginia is too far...
