In general, you would take the larger number, but there can be other factors. What if you got 40K in a part of the country with an extremely low cost of living, plus the weather is great, but your 60K offer was in an expensive place to live with lousy weather? It would at the very least be worth doing the calculations (which you're good at as a CPA) to compare how much money you have left over each month.
Yep and just like in Dak's case for example, he could be like Brady and take 20 knowing that it could possibly mean he has a better chance at winning a championship. In that case he chooses the possibility of lifetime notoriety of a Super Bowl or multiples over financial reward. Unlike Brady though, Dak would have to trust Jerry to be able to make that happen like Brady trusts Kraft and Belechick.
Life's about choices, there are many reasons to choose less money. I like working in a small family company and less stress. I choose to make 30% less than making a career of going after the top position every chance I get.
