In general, you wouldn't. There are cases, however, where it makes sense to take a pay cut in order to get into a specific field or industry, with the end goal ilof getting experience and catapulting into a better role down that path.

The other reason I've seen is to get away from a toxic boss or workplace. Nobody gets a new job simply for the sake of doing something different unless there is a financial incentive to do so.

It depends on how much you hate your current job and how desperate you are to leave. When you’re in this position, a lesser pay but better work environment or management sounds great

NeedMore$:
I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?
