Yeah. 100%. I love programming, but carrot and stick works big time on me. I'm staying at my current company despite being underpaid because: - I work remotely - I get 1 workday per week to work on my hobby projects - I get 8 weeks paternity - I get 5 weeks paid vacation - I have great insurance through them - I have amazing coworkers, including every owner/boss/manager - It's a lifestyle company from top to bottom I have friends making 1.5x my current salary, but I'm not switching to work for their companies because the carrots at my current gig outweigh a hefty outlay of $$$.
