Even if they gave you a lot of perks, like freebies and such?

Like what kind of freebies? And, on a related note, would you do a job for free for a friend? Not something that took time away from paid work but a small favor like post on their blog.

Not for Me...
though currently I am studying but still if I consider then salary is not the factor in a Job package.... I will look following in my job package...
- Authority
- Respect
- Good Environment
- Friendly Staff

and some more

Will you work on a below minimum salary?

yup i think that salary is most important part of job because when a person doing job he wants its reward at the end of month

How much is your ideal salary?

Well, yeah. I am not 20 anymore, to accept any low paying job, so right now the salary offered is of a great importance. And, since I am a freelancer (so no salary for me), when it comes to being paid for my work, I do look for the clients who're willing to pay me better.

Good point! When i was 20 years old, i was only more than happy to take intern type jobs just to learn and experiment. Now i have a child and bills to pay, so every job has to be paying.

It's also a good way to get experience for the future jobs you want to apply in the future.

But, what about if you have a family and must pay for your own expenses as they are not covered by a parent? Wouldn't you want to get full salary?
