1. Answer tips

This is a trick question. The work should always be more important than the money. This frame of mind makes you seem like a good employee and as though you really want the specific job regardless of pay.

Inform the interviewer you appreciate your work above all else in your career, but you also expect to make a decent wage for your efforts. Interviewers want to know you value the work you turn in.

2. Answer samples

Answer sample 1

I believe they are equally important to our well-being. Certainly both. Even though Work is Worship money makes livelihood. Work follows money and money follows work. So, without existence of one another we can’t be achievable. However I can adjust for money up to some extent if the work is really challenging and doing which gives me job satisfaction.

Answer sample 2

One cannot exist without the other. There would be no use in earning a living if you didn’t have the time to go out and enjoy life. That being said, I would say the work is still more important. Because I am passionate about my line of duty, and it brings me self-fulfillment, something money alone could not provide me with.
