Work-life balance, to the extent that I can predict it.

For me, it is difficult to say. Because although it is often salary, there is a caveat. If more important things are involved (i.e., potential promotion, doing what I love, or work-life balance), then that make me take great pause. My emotional and physical well being are always my #1 priority.

Communication is a big make or break situation for me. It's not just what's said, but what's not said, tone, body language. Are they to my questions, did they avoid the question or change the topic, did they give me adequate time to ask questions, how did they follow up with me? What's my gut telling me? Communication gives me insight into how the company operates and leadership style.
