Will y'all go for a job with a high salary or be at a job that pays average?

All else being equal, of course, higher salary. If you earn more, the faster you hit your retirement investment savings target, the faster you can "retire".

Well it depends on what you value. If the only similarity is that both jobs cover your financial needs well, choose the one that you are happy to go to every morning and not be burned out when you knock off every evening (or night). Mental health is important, and the same goes for personal time. Choose the job that take care of both aspects, regardless of the pay. Money can be earned. Your health... The basic thing is to take care of it.
