And Rands mentions this in the article.There's a weighted list of criteria you keep in the back of your head
No, he doesn't. The full list from him includes:
Am I happy with my job?
Do I like my manager? My team?
Is this project I’m working on fulfilling?
Am I learning?
Am I respected?
Am I growing?
Do I feel fairly compensated?
Is this company/team going anywhere?
Do I believe in the vision?
Do I trust the leaders?
People can answer "YES!" to all of those questions and still leave the job. I've left jobs I was happy at. All sorts of happy people do it all the time. The foundation of the author's essay is flawed.
