I just landed a new job, but it means taking a $5K pay cut annually. My current role is making me miserable, so I'm trying to figure out if losing that much money is worth it to leave. Is a $5K difference too significant?

$5K after taxes is barely a blip in the radar. If that means happiness, I’d go for it!

Have you tried to negotiate? I was offered $3k less. But tried to negotiate and they matched my current salary at that time.

no LOL

$5K can definitely matter depending on your budget, but if the current role is making you miserable, sometimes that money isn’t worth the stress and unhappiness.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
