When I was in my 20s, I probably thought the same thing. By my mid-30s, I had learned how untrue that is. I switched to a job that paid significantly less but came with better hours, more respect, more control of my own working conditions, less stress, more family time, etc. and I have been far happier ever since. Sure it would be nice to earn more money but it isn't worth all that comes with it.

Your comparing apples to oranges. Your situation as you described is the opposite of what he is. His young and unmarried that 'ties' him to nothing. Loyalty to a job is longer a valid reason to stay. His best to lookout for #1 especially in today's high unemployment, worsening economic conditions. There is a reason why he was offered that job; skills. Who knows how long that job will last, but Silicon Valley is cut throat industry, one that pays the highest in the industry nonetheless. This is not a hard decision to make in my book.
