In addition to this, let me input my opinion when considering for this aspect, it is good that we look out for a high paying job, because it will give us the assurance that we earn much, but on the contrary, it goes beyond just the high pay, because securing such have to align with the cost and leaving expenses to doing that job, which we can consider the transportation cost, feeding and other allowances or bonuses we may get from doing such kind of a job, some have been working and cant afford to have some savings for not balancing up this aspect.

Let me make it more being practical, someone earns $1000 from his new job a month, spend close to $850 for transport, rent, tax and feeding, his take home after all these is $150 monthly, while another earn $800 per month and spend $550 as transport, rent, tax and feeding as his monthly expenses, while his take home was $250 monthly, you can see from the two instances which is more better to go for, that is why i will have to include a living expenses to the nature of the job we are going for together with proximity to where we stay.
