Expectations, Location, Quality of Life.  Expectations: to encompass salary, work hours, flying hours. Location: Family friendly, affordable housing, cost of living. Quality of Life: Job satisfaction. Flying Type and Time, Self importance (rewarding service HAA, FF, Tours, Coworkers/management, People, Atmosphere, Culture, Compensations),... Some of these may not be able to be determined until after hiring.  You may be looking for a job that enables you to accrue more than 600 hours in a year.  Some may barely break out at 200.  That would put you three years behind in your expectations for next step.  If you're a 5000+ type pilot, you may not necessarily be looking for 60-100 hours a month.
