Funny, I have also worked in an HR advisory role for 25 years - your time is about up if you've been a spreadsheet jockey for 40 years. Fact is, in highly compensated industries, money is absolutely a primary factor in moving the talent.
As to how the fuck I know that there are objectively better or worse situations that are more and less attractive? How do you think I know old man? Because it's FUCKING OBVIOUS. For example, does Al Golden know and like Brian Daboll? If he does, then the Giants DC job would be more attractive than a job with, eg, the Panthers, which has more chaos. You make all-knowing pronouncements like you know everything, when I asked a simple question at the outset. You're a cantankerous old man - hope you can keep that job if you act that way at work. Good day to you.
