Leave to where? Salary for the highest paid people is a comparative good. If I pay you 10x you current salary I don't get 10x the innovation. Also, compression also means that the slowest paid people can get salary increases (to cover the increased mortgage costs) - it will be a mix. (not entirely knowing your own situation, not taking a "low ball" offer can leave you worse of, if the alternative is no income.)
