Forget the quality of the work environment and corporate culture! Career opportunities? Forget it!!!

What chief financial officers really want is a steady stream of money, according to a Robert Half Finance & Accounting survey of 1400 CFOs from a sample of US companies.

According to the survey, 27 per cent nominated the folding stuff as the deciding factor as to whether or not they take the job, and 24 per cent said it was stability of the company (i.e. security).

Versus the 22 per cent who nominated work environment and corporate culture and 17 per cent who went for career advancement.
