Deal breaker factors are really up to you. Only you really know what is necessary for your happiness.
I can share what my needs are though. I've taken a job solely for money in the past, and though I learned a lot on that journey, I will not do it again.
With that said, money isn't the most important thing, but the company I work for needs to recognize the value I bring. I also need to work somewhere I feel excited to get out of bed in the morning and do my job.
At the very least I need an environment where the mission, benefits, and equality factors aren't at odds with my values. They don't have to be in perfect alignment, but can't be counter to them.
And insufficient time off is a deal breaker for me also. I can't do my job effectively if I don't have enough time to recharge.
I'd start with a list of what you need and what matters most to you.
