One part of people consider a fat remuneration a paramount criterion based upon which one should choose a job, whereas the other part believes it is a convenient work environment to be focused on. In this paper, I will examine both perspectives and explain my personal preference.
To begin with, a salary is an essential part of our working life. For most of the people, it is the main reason they have to get up in the morning and go to work although they could have come up with millions of other ideas how to spend their day. My brother would have played computer games and my sister would have strolled through forest. Therefore, people go to work first and foremost for the remuneration. It is evident it must be the leading factor when choosing among more jobs. The more money an employee receive, the more productive the time at work is. As far as I am concerned, the effective use of time plays a crucial role in my decision making, thus I prefer to earn more in demanding job and at the same time benefit from the money in the free time.
On the other hand, it becoming increasingly popular to focus on other areas of the working life. Once the employers have spotted, they started promoting different benefits. Thanks to that, young people notice in job offers mentions of work-life balance, informal working environment and team-building activities. Because although the money may be the main reason people go to work, it is also unquestionable we spend in the work most of our awaken time during lifetime. To put it differently, why should one enjoy only the time outside of work? There have been a shift in the societal perspective and a new workforce take this fact into consideration. Despite I personally agree with this viewpoint, I hold the view it does not dethrone the primacy of money as these benefits remain subsidiary.
To conclude, for some people the remuneration is still the most important element in work and the true reason they go there, however, for other employees money do not represent the most important factor and a pleasant environment is more important.
