interesting
'interessant' and 'lukrativ' can both express in business situations that something is worthwhile. But 'lukrativ' clearly means that it brings a lot of money or a good profit. The word fits especially well with business deals, jobs, investments, or contracts. 'interessant' is less strong and more open. An offer can be 'interessant' because it has advantages, offers new opportunities, or might bring a profit. When the financial gain is the main point, 'lukrativ' is more precise.
