What can be a good reason you can encourage someone to turn down a high paying job?

[Fidelia]

Everyone wants a job that pays much higher than their current jobs. I have seen people that actually have job offers that pay higher than their current jobs and they turned it down.

What is a reason that you would encourage someone to turn down a higher paying job?

Personally, I believe there are situations where it's worthwhile to turn down a higher-paying job if the working conditions aren't suitable or the work environment is unhealthy. For example, if a higher-paying position also involves very high stress levels, excessive hours, or a toxic work culture, it can negatively impact long-term health and well-being. Furthermore, if the job doesn't align with personal values or doesn't offer opportunities for growth, accepting the offer solely for the money can be counterproductive. I consider quality of life, work-life balance, and job satisfaction to be equally, if not more, important than salary. Sometimes, accepting a lower-paying job with better conditions can be more beneficial in terms of mental health and overall happiness.

Your direct supervisor gives off a bad vibe. Lack of growth.
A high turnover rate. and
There's no work-life balance

If the cost of taking care of their health is quite significant, it is better to look beyond the pay and turn down the job.
