At a certain point more money doesn't really mean much unless it amounts to a lifestyle change. Suppose you make $120k/yr and you hear someone makes $132k/yr for the same job at a different company. Is the extra ~$660/mo really going to change your day to day life? Probably not. So, it's at that point that more money doesn't really make a company change all that attractive unless it also comes with better work or leaving a company with better work for a pay increase that doesn't change your lifestyle.

It's not a bother if the amount is that small. I currently make ~180k including stocks. Then I hear AirBnB guy that gets ~230k including stocks, or an Uber employee getting ~280k including stocks.

This annoys me beyond reason. I can't keep job hopping around!
