I was all about the company mission, working somewhere that was growing quickly, and getting hands-on experience. After I burned out a bit, I looked for work/life balance and was focused on making and saving money. After a couple of years, I missed the excitement, passion, and long hours. While I'm definitely hoping to turn Key Values into a revenue-generating business (ie. money is on my mind), I'm really motivated by challenging myself with something new, learning, and this mission to help match companies and job-seekers.
But trust me, for the previous 2 years, I was mostly about the money too. (Maybe 60% money, 40% learning the skills to try and start a business of my own.) If I hadn't made money a priority, I wouldn't have been able to do what I'm doing now.
