> Is an extra $10k per year worth..

Extra X a year for a couple of year? No.

Extra X a year for the rest of your working life? Yes.

Consider that some employers anchor salaries to previous salaries ala "we won't pay you more than Y more than your previous salary" - so any raise represents an increase in all future offers.

So despite the downsides, working for a couple of years under a new salary has essentially increased your worth in the eyes of the market.
