    500k in the Bay Area is very different to 100k, especially if you have a family. So I think that would make a massive difference in happiness.

    I think 5 times any salary affords you greater security, flexibility and opportunities that have to make a measurable difference in how happy you can be

      The employees are already making 500k and the raise would be to 600k, in this example. You misread the op.
