Why didn't you mention salary as a criterion for choosing a job?

The salary factor is undoubtedly important when choosing a job, but in the context of system analysis and technical interviews, there is often an emphasis on professional and organizational criteria: interest in the project, opportunities for growth, team culture, technological stack, etc.

The reason is that salary is more of a consequence of successful negotiation and choice rather than the sole criterion. Additionally, discussing salary may be more appropriate at the offer stage rather than during a technical interview.

Thus, the absence of salary mention among the criteria for choosing a job is related to a focus on professional aspects and motivation, which influence long-term job satisfaction and career development.
