I met a dude at a bachelor party who was working for three startups simultaneously.

The unspoken assumption about salaries are that we picture earning that amount for the rest of our careers. $500k at one job feels much more secure and mortgage-able than $500k dependent on maintaining an illusion and level of work that will lead to burnout.
