    How easily would you quit your current job if you were offered something with better pay? Would money alone be enough to lure you away?

    I would quit in like 60 seconds for a job that pays more money.

    All my life I have worked for jobs that I liked rather than focus on the pay. I have actually left jobs for others that paid less. But the only reason I remain at this job that I loathe more each day is because of my age and this tanked economy where I likely could not find another paying as much.

    But yeah, if there was a guarantee of another job with comparable pay - not even more - I'd be outta here as soon as I got my stuff in a box.

    I don't have a problem living on what I make. Sure, I'd take more but the new job better be secure.

    If it was a significant pay increase, then yes; but, honestly, I like my job. I like the people. I like the environment. I like the scheduling. I like the perks. So this offer would need to be too sweet to pass up.

    This. I'll even be willing to lose a few perks, but it better benefit me in the short and long term.

    I would go in long enough to clean out my desk and walk around the building telling everyone to kiss my... Bart moon.

    In a heartbeat...my current has really gone downhill within these past few weeks. In fact, I'm on the verge of leaving.
