I didn’t resign because of the pay. I resigned because they never replaced other people that quit, fired, or promoted, so those remaining continued to get more work with no increase in pay. Not that I would have stayed if they even doubled my salary, it was simply an absurd, impossible amount of work and stress and nobody there gave a damn about the toll that it was taking on us. So I found a new job and told my old job to kick rocks. My new job is actually more pay and less work, go figure.

The real equation is how much of your life do you trade (contracted hours, overtime, life-shortening stress, compromising your hopes and dreams) for financial compensation.
If the money stays the same, but the job got worse, the pay got worse.
