What you are worth at any given time is what the market will pay. Skill values fluctuate all the time. A lot of the perceived value you currently have is due to the network and institutional knowledge you currently have due to your tenure. Those value you can’t take with you to a new company.

Looking for advice…I currently make $85k + 35% bonus. I’m interviewing for a job that I now know pays $70k + 15% bonus. Obviously that’s a steep cut. The only reasons I’m still interested are that it’s in crypto operations which I’d like to transition to, and it’s back on the east coast closer to family. We want our daughter growing up with them around. Any thoughts on negotiating a higher salary? Or, any experiences on taking a pay cut and what went into your decision to do so? Thanks!
