Money isn't everything. I've turned down interview opportunities at both Facebook and Google because the roles on offer were not roles I was interested in doing. In the past I've broken off Google's interview process because the glacial pace they were moving at just was not worth it to me.

I earn well, so granted I'm not turning down as much as some would, but to drag out a tired old saying, I work to live, I don't live to work. I have plenty of things I want to do - some of them I can do in the right job, many I can't.

Of course one of the luxuries of already earning well is that the multiple of my current salary it'd take to convince me to take a job I don't actively love the sound of is far higher that it otherwise would be.

I think the parent was mostly aimed at "how much time they want to spend interviewing", which is an outlier on that list. It's trivial relative to the others.

My point is that there are many reasons why someone may not see a job at one of these companies as all that interesting, and if you don't see the job as all that interesting, then the time it takes to go through interviews suddenly is a big deal.
