Stock options
Sign in bonuses
Other benefits (health, dental, pension)
About the country:

Long Term visas/Citizenship Processes to stay long term in the country if you happen to want to stay there 4evahâ„¢
Housing costs
Food costs
Purchasing power
House market (if you wanna buy a house later)
Language (do you speak the language? wanna learn it?)
Things you care about:
Everything that you do today or wanna do tomorrow that you care about

Anything you can think of...
Risks:
Assess them. We all take risks.
As you can see. Most of the things in my list are related to money and day to day stability. So this is a time for self reflection and see what do you need money for.
Red flags? There are many depending on what you care about the most. Happy to bounce back if you have comments :)
