Considering taking a 20% paycut to do work that is more closely aligned to my skills / better WLB. Anyone have any advice? (For what it’s worth - i can afford it at the moment, but maybe will be a bit harder in 2 years if i want to buy my ideal home).
I hate doing PMO work and miss being technical, so this role is very technical and will help me build on that technical skillset further. Plus i hate the PTO restriction here at EY and need more flexibility.

Think less about your ideal things and more about your ideal life. I’ve lived in big houses and small houses and found happiness in both places. A difficult / stressful lifestyle is much harder to find happiness through than a smaller house.

ding ding ding - this is the response; assuming since you're at EY, a 20% paycut will still be a very reasonable lifestyle as long as you have that in check.

A big ol' house won't make you happy long-term.

What’s the PTO restriction?

Also, don’t forget, you’re shifting from a nontechnical role to a technical one. Your perceived value goes up quite a bit after a couple years, typically, so you might be able to bridge the salary gap
