The others pay a little bit better - not enough better to be an over-riding
factor in many cases, but a little bit better.

The BBC, on the other hand, because it is so much bigger, offers more
opportunities for moving around internally, working on different
stuff, and cross-training with other technologies. Auntie also engenders
a warm fluffy feeling, like having your trousers full of kittens, and is
*great* CV fodder because the product is so much more visible.

It wouldn't hurt to think like a serial killer every so often.
Purely for purposes of prevention, of course.
