In demand DevOps candidate here. I had multiple six figure offers from companies, and still picked the job that required a 4-6 hour project I completed over 2 weeks in the evenings (that I was paid for).

Provide the right work environment and perks, and people will "jump through hoops" if they think its worth it.

This.

At the end of the day, what job/pay/perks do you want?

If jobs require you to jump through some hoops, then they will be jumped through - within reason.

So if two companies gave similar perks but one required you to jump through hoops, which one do you think a majority would consider?

The job with the best team. Generally, the job where you have to jump through hoop will have a team who has jumped through those hoops as well. It's all about vetting.

Which is only meaningful if the vetting is for the sort of skills one actually uses day to day.
