When picking a potential employer, programmers often think "what about Google?" or "what about Facebook?" or "What about the hottest a16z startup?". When those programmers then compare/contrast the behavior of the companies they're considering, it is not considered a logical fallacy, but "making a list of pros/cons."

If I am going to trade my time and energy for money, I think it's fair to compare my options, and not an act of irrationality.
