Should you Prioritize Passion or Salary When Choosing a Job?

Many job seekers face the dilemma of following passion or going for higher pay. Which path do you think leads to better long-term satisfaction and stability?
 
It depends on your situation. Passion would make me motivated and have lasting satisfaction, whereas salary would offer me security and stability. Preferably, select a role that is between the two. At the beginning of your career, money can be a greater factor; when you are older, passion is sometimes more needed to be satisfied.
 
You want a balance between the pay and what will motivate you by getting a good enough job. The long term equilibrium as tied with the financial stability is a source of long term satisfaction.
 
Passion vs salary This is a balance between passion and salary that results in successful career pleasure; seek a position that provides you with enjoyment as well as accomplishing monetary demands.
 
Prioritize a balance. Stability is provided by the salary to avoid burnout caused by financial pressure, and long-term motivation is caused by passion. Think of a well-paying job that will finance your interests in form of hobbies or side works.
 
Honestly, I think the sweet spot is finding work that pays the bills but still feels meaningful, pure passion without stability gets stressful, and just chasing salary can burn you out; I’ve seen people happiest when there’s a bit of both.
