#2It is really a flaw of me, but if it's not challenging I don't care about it and I am incapabable of doing a good job.
Luckily I am in a position wherein I can choose my jobs.

#3All those are important, and any honest person will say that most of those things matter to a large extent. Who wants to work with great technology, compensation and responsibility, but with a lousy team and environment?
What you really want to do is to get people to order them, rather than just vote on them.

#4Environment/Atmosphere and Team go hand in hand.

#5I'd add commute. It's a big reason I took my current job.

#6Money, but until a certain treshold. After X per month other factors kick in, specially whom am I working with and what. Boring work can be made awesome with the right people, the opposite ain't true. People will crush you even if you're doing what you love.

#8I'd put team as part of environment/atmosphere (or vice versa) - I know they arent perfectly matched, but dont the people you work with directly impact the atmosphere?

Right - hopefully the total vote volumes here end up as a decent proxy. We'll get more sophisticated with this later.

I dont think thats a flaw at all. Dude, look at the people who take boring jobs that pay the bills and see their excitement level towards life itself 10 years later. :\
I dont want things that are ALWAYS challenging, or so hard as to leave me frustrated an unaccomplished at the end of the day. But I dont want an endless monotony of crap.
