IMHO, the right job is a combination of:

1. The right benefits: 401k, salary, health, pension, stock options, as well as other company 'perks' like flexible work hours, discounts on products...etc.
2. The right management and people to work with.
3. Matching your skill sets with your job responsibilities.
4. Having opportunities to grow within your area, your department, and the company.
5. A manageable level of stress.

If you have three of the five from my list above, then you'll want to stay with that company. Anything less than 2 of those, and you gotta leave, or you have to make a move within your company to make the situation different.

Right now, in my position, I have all five of those pretty much fully met. I could do with a little less hours on the job...
