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.

I just think there is a lot more to look at when evaluating a job offer besides the salary. I'm not suggesting he stay out of loyalty. I'm just suggesting that he shouldn't jump ship strictly for more money. More money does not necessarily equal more happiness or better overall job situation.
