I'd happily put up with a toxic work environment for double my pay. My costs are fixed so if I tolerate it for a couple of years that's a lot of money to put towards some major investments, it could easily pay off the rest of my apartment in a year.
IME places like this usually pay low to middle of the road salaries though, I suspect you partner may have avoided a bait and switch hiring process.

- geezerjay 8y agoDouble may not be enough in a lot of cases but it doesn't need to be. A marginal pay raise has a marginal effect on the numbet of people who are willing to take that job. While some people are willing to accept 2x the pay, it's possible to attract more people if 3x or 5x the pay is offered.
