  • 27. Which is more important to you, money or satisfaction?

      How to Answer

      Interviewers understand that satisfaction is a greater motivator than money, and they want to hear that you are more interested in satisfaction because it shows you are seeking a long-term career instead of just a paycheck. You might say, 'Satisfaction is more important. Waking up each day knowing that I get to go to a job I enjoy is much more motivating than a paycheck is.'

      "I think satisfaction is more important to me than money. I have had positions that paid me more money but left me dissatisfied with where I was at in life."

      Chad's Feedback

      Good answer! Are you able to elaborate by discussing the ways you believe this job will bring you satisfaction? This will assure the interviewer that you are committed to the career long-term. Also, I suggest rewording your opening sentence to avoid the phrasing "I think", which can indicate a lack of confidence in the statement you are making. Instead, you might say "I believe" or " I consider".
