I totally agree. Back in the "hey day", I switched jobs for more pay, but then three months later it occurred to me that the cliche 'money isn't everything' is true sometimes. I went from a small company where I was able to learn a little bit of a wide range of technologies (and ultimately concentrate on any one of them to further my skills), to a company where they pigeon-holed me as a "windows admin" and made me Ghost desktops all day. Lucky for me, I proved that I was a competant worker at my last job (albeit not exactly loyal) and the VP of Engineering invited me back with a salary match to boot. Yeah, I learned my lesson after that (what a young punk I was only a few years ago).:)
