Money isn't always the reason. In Chicago there are dev companies that are so toxic or imploding that they're well known.

Most people would work in a toxic company for the right price. For an extremely awful job it might be very high, but just about everyone has a number.

The bad companies, though, don't tend to offer more money than average. IME, they offer less. When a company is deaf to what developers care about in one department, they're usually deaf to what developers want in other departments, too.
