When an offer comes in, I go straight to the salary line and that's about as far as I get. Everything else, the benefits, the growth, what the place is actually like, I just kind of cross my fingers on. Twice now I've said yes to a bigger number and regretted it within months.
More people experience this than they realize.
You judge a job offer by the salary alone and hope the rest works out.
