Personally? I am 100% more likely.

Are there any other factors that influence your decision when applying for a new job? e.g. Prestige of the company, tech challenges, etc?

The tech stack used. When they're still doing LAMP in 2015, never. Or PHP in general. But that's just me I'd say

not me.

What i care about is where the office is located, whether there is anything to do in the area around the office, what technologies i will work with and whether i regard the company as ethical.

I once worked for a former white panther at half the salary i could have commanded anywhere ele.

Ouch. We're still using PHP but appreciate what you're saying. What tech stack are you using at the moment?
