I think it's also shown in time. I've had jobs that paid me more than my current one, but I was paying for that by my personal time being completely abused on a regular basis, even if it's just a small thing or 3 daily it ends up feeling like you never stop working. I don't have any means of work communication on my phone now, and I've gotten one call that I said I was open to in my current role. To me, shutting my computer and work being completely over till I open it again is such a relief.

Yes, I think attitude towards personal time (or more generally, work-life balance) really is a facet of culture that's important to bear in mind. I've been lucky in that regard, as my managers and coworkers have been very forgiving when it comes to (say) taking off suddenly so I can take my rabbit to the emergency vet. I wouldn't give that flexibility up for double the pay. If I'm ever in a job where they routinely abuse off hours or disapprove of taking time off, I'll be looking intensely for something to replace it.
