I certainly have a price at which I will sell out, but if they aren't offering "retire decade(s) earlier than normal", it's unlikely to make a long term difference to me compared to the alternatives. Yes, a 20% bump for a few years would be nice, but paying half of my paycheck in therapy bills for a decade cancels that out and then some.
Basically, if they aren't offering "f** you money", pay has a diminishing effect on my employment choices. And if they are offering that kind of money, I'm assuming that'll come with even more consequences. My resume is alright, but it's not enough for an offer of way more money without strings attached.
I can't speak for everybody of course, but I think not heeding the above leads to burnout.
