My point is that despite what others in the comment chain state, there are reasons to stay at a place other than simply a little more money, especially when you consider that at our level already puts us deep into the 1% overall.

"I love what I do and I love the people I work with - but I didn't come here for love."
It’s not leaving for a 30% raise.
There is a compounding effect.
You’re leaving so that in a few years it’s a 200-300% raise relative to what you’re making now.
That said, I don’t begrudge anyone staying for “love”. If you’re happy then that’s great. I’m happiest when I’m at least making an effort to make as much as I can.
Why would change of company first to 30% make you get 300% later?
You don't have obligation to expose your current salary so you can demand 300% right away.
If you think you will have enough skills to earn 300% go for it.
