Money is important but don't make that your first priority. Know everything going in so your sure your not going to be working 7 days a week 10-12hrs a day. The stress will kill. Happiness in your job is priceless. Family first!

Exactly, funny I didn't read your post before making my own above - I rejected a 35K raise earlier this year. I still pull 70 hour weeks sometimes, but only when I want to - that can bring in the dough. Otherwise, your health and family must be higher priority than career and money. It will affect you relationships too (girlfriend/wife/kids), don't screw around, people are always looking for someone to take advantage of.
