I like my job, but not my company so much. There's a lot of variables...

Which company you work for (but if you want to advance to the majors, you need a fast upgrade, which probably means you want to work for the crappiest regional you can find)

If you can live at your domicile...that's a HUGE plus...you can bid reserve or trips that return to base each day.

Do you have a family, and can you deal with some separation?

The most vocal whiners about the quality of life at airlines are people who have been pilots their whole life and have never had a real job (military and civilian both). People who have worked in the real world usually appreciate not having to go to work 6 days a week and deal with a pack of spineless @sskissers and backstabbers for 10 hours a day.
