Why would you ever accept a pay cut? Are your duties changing/decreasing commensurate with the change? I think accepting a cut sets a precedent that your employer shouldn’t value your work and puts you in a weaker negotiating position going forward.

I should have added more context here - but this is pertaining to taking a lateral move, not in my current role. Let me know if this helps!

I moved laterally into account mgmt, and the pay bands in my prev org were higher. I took a "cut" in that future raises will likely be smaller

I would hope to never take a pay cut, personally. I don’t think I would ever choose something that cut my pay.

I’m looking at a $5k paycut to make a lateral move, but I’m okay with it because I’m looking for somewhere with a larger team and a stronger client base (my current shop is understaffed and sinking)

Weigh out what you get for what you lose, and if it feels worth it to you, then make the decision!
