When it comes to shopping for a new job, or answering a recruiter's LinkedIn message, what are the things you need to have on the job offer to make you turn your head?
Is it a big salary? Is it flexibility? Ability to work remotely? Perhaps perks such as free food or the like?

As a junior to kid level developer:
Number one for me, is having smart colleagues to learn from. I am happy to say, that I am probably the dumbest person on my team. Not that I'm bad, but that my colleagues are so good.
Always surprised of the knowledge bombs that get dropped.
I am also growing rather attached to the free snacks and drinks in my office. So that is a benefit I wasn't expecting 😄
I'm going to borrow from Omar Gaston Chalas' formatting since it works well.
Must have:
Remote Work.
Flexible Hours -- Sometimes I work at night.
A team that communicates well.
Worklife balance.
Automated deployment.
Should have:
Relatively Flat Structure - my and other dev's opinions should matter.
Great salary and benefits.
Technically Challenging Project.
Nice to have:
Equity
Thanks for sharing Alan! What does worklife-balance means to you? Something like unlimited vacation time? Or is it something else such as ability to take a day off if your kids need to visit the doctor?
It means that the company promotes an environment where people don't feel guilty for taking a day off, going to a doctor's appointment, or doing whatever else they may need for their well being. This goes hand-in-hand with the company prioritizing the health and wellness of its employees( within reason).
That makes sense, thanks for clarifying :)
A valuable purpose is the most important and a good and open minded team to work with.
Everything else doesn't really matter. When the salary question is on the desk, it's always interesting to ask the question: What is my capability worth for your organization?
After that response you will get a deep insight into the companies people culture. The salary offer will be secondarily.

Nice to have:
Kinda weird, but that's my expectation :D
No homework, short commute, great benefits and a healthy environment :D
Good office culture with big salary enjoying free foods/services with the flexibility
So, all of the above :)
At this point in my career: remote work and something interesting to work on. As long as I'm not making less money salary doesn't matter all that much
Required
Nice to have:
The tech content, then the salary and environment (how many devs, is it a formal place with strict dress code...)
