Of course, if you get paid half the market salary, you're also getting underpaid.

This isn't a tradeoff: in my experience, the places that treat their employees well by providing a good work environment and not trying to nickel and dime them are also the places that pay well. Seek those out, and reward them and yourself by working for them.

Actually from my experience , toxic places pay more because they have problems retaining talent(or just anybody).
