Dear All,
Happy New Year to all....
I have a deep confusion regarding this one.
What is important Job or the pay?
What if I have a good job but I don't get payed well (very less)?
What if I have a good pay but the job is not so interesting?

Hello Khifah,
That's the basic/fundamental question everyone has at some point of time in his/her career.
It all depends on the priorities that one has at that point-of-time when such a decision needs to be made. Suppose my priority today is money [for family reasons or just plain greed or anything else], my natural tendency would be to opt for a high-paying job, IRRESPECTIVE of the job role/content. And this is bound to continue UNTIL my focus on financial constraints eases out. Then my priorities will change to something else--when I may chose a job that has higher content than money. For some it could be a focus on specific location--where money may not matter highly or even the job role.
Finally, at the end of the day, it all boils down to:the choice is MINE ALONE, which depends [like I said above] on the circumstances I am in right now. When they change, my priorities change too. That's life I guess.
I recollect an old quote here: Change is the ONLY constant in life.
Hope I have answered your query.

Dear Khifah,
I share my personal opinion on the subject
20 - 25 years of age - The job becomes important and pay is relatively less important.
25-35 years of age - You would have learnt the subject, so you will now look for monetary benefits as you are also likely to get married in this span.
35 - 45 years of age - You will look for both monetary benefits and position, but it will be more on the position rather than monetary benefit.
45 till superannuation - Monetary benefits take more importance because the children will be pursuing higher studies.
As you observe the priority changes from time to time. But at no point of time one compromises on taking up a job that is uninteresting.
If you always look at monetary benefits all through your career, you will end up being a job hopper, you will be a rolling stone and will gather no moss (knowledge). If you don't gain knowledge then career enhancement at the later part of your career is not certain. If you stay in an organisation too long you learning gets saturated and you will end up working monotonously each day.
On the other hand if you always look at designations and care little for your monetary benefit then you may end up in a small organisation with a fancy designation. Hence, your learning process will be stunted.
Always weigh options in your career before making moves. In my opinion the maximum moves in a person's career can be six between 20 years till superannuation.

Good question has been quoted. I think one time every one have to sattle with his money then after he have to work for the great logo not for money. But it will the matter with intrested jobs only.

If you read the subject you will find "Job" first and than "pay". The reply you may find in the subject. A good job will give you to learn many things which will help you to grow your carrier now and than. But a good pay will not assure your carrier. One day you will frustrate with your less important job and than it would be difficult for you to find a good job because your knowledge, experiences and age will not match with each other.
From my long time experience I can say you please accept a good job first, money will come sure if you learned more.

under motivation job satisfaction is rated higher than pay and as you know there is never enough money, it is therefore very clear that if money is your number one motivator then you will certainly settle for any job regardless of its nature and this will be short lived. I therefore concur with the opinion of Tajsateesh and Kannanmv.
settle for what will motivate you most.
