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?

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
