Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”? Manager looking to leave Bain - I want to do corporate sustainability - I got an offer for a traditional corp strategy job at $195k base, $23k bonus (no longer-term incentives aka no equity / profit sharing), so similar to current comp except for NAP, but am hoping something sustainability-related comes through. Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)
