I wouldn't leave for any realistic amount. 20%, 50%, 100%. Even a x10 wouldn't be enough to make me leave (after that it starts to get really unrealistic, and I don't hypothesize on unrealistic situations). The other dev in my company won't either, at least not until 100% (we both know he could get that by jumping ship to go to defense/banking jobs that pay at least double our salary). Why is that? For me, I'm a founder (the other dev is not), and I'm emotionally invested in our company success. The biggest other factor is that we do social good. That's the main reason we are there and will stick there as long as the company runs. Salary is enough to live confortably, and way higher than the minimum wage, so we aren't complaining. The work is interesting as well, and we get to have a good dev culture, focused on making things better. All the people working their are nice. Finding another company that satisfies all the non-monetary consideration is a crapshot, frankly. I would be very hesitant even if I was not a founder, a lot of things aren't apparent until you are several months in your new contract.
