That's precisely not how markets work. A TON of people work not at the highest paying job but at the job they feel most comfortable. That can include a myriad of reasons:
- Job is more fun
- Flexible working hours
- More fitting location
- Allow WFH
- More vacation days
- Gym/food/something available
- Ability to learn from colleagues.
etc etc.
If the world were as you describe the job market would be a feeding frenzy where everyone is aiming for the top job by salary.
- nox101 2y agothose are all great reasons and I agree with them all. Just to add one more data point, myself, I've never looked at switching jobs based on pay. I pretty much always just took the job that was offered. I'd eventually quit for random reasons (upset with the boss 3 times, company down sized twice, left to do my own thing twice, other...). I never sat there at work thinking "hmmm, I wonder if there is a higher paying job somewhere". That might be me just being stupid but since I can't see into the minds of anyone else I kind of assume it's same for lots of people.
