You're right, actually, that's legitimate. Sometimes it can be worth it. I did a similar move earlier in my career. But it's another layer of tactical thinking - what are you getting in exchange for that money? So for the OP, I'd encourage them to figure out if they're making market rate or not before they make that judgment.
