Has anyone ever left their job and took a 33k pay cut just to have a job you believe you would enjoy again despite having to live leaner financially? We're you glad you did it? My current job had come with some challenges involving myself, the President, and HR. My job would also be one they are likely to get rid of at year end in order to save money since it's currently not well.

Yes, and best decision ever. When you hit a dead end, it's often best to back up and go another direction. I've developed and learned (and earned) so much more than thought was possible for me.
Side note: Perhaps showing the pay cut as percentage might get more responses?
