Is that relevant? Wouldn’t an extra $30k at a new company also get taxed the same amount?

The GP was highlighting that 30k per year is very little to keep senior talent. I was adding some perspective to how little it really is after considering taxes at the highest bracket.

It matters if not everything is about money.

Is 15k extra per year an effective boost to happiness?

Is 15k enough to keep working for Big Brother, in a job with very limited freedom, professionally and socially

Is 15k enough to keep working in a company that keeps users addicted to unhealthy behaviors?
