Depends on the company/brand and growth opportunities in the role. I know people who took a 50% pay cut to join Google long before the pandemic came in. If you think the role will help you do well, then growth will come in the form of promos and your pay will increase too. If the role gives you a higher pay but you see yourself stagnating, then that's not a good idea either. Think long-term All the best.

I’m currently a Manager with 8 YOE, half of it in a mid-tier consulting firm and the other in a Big 4. Starting to look for an exit to industry and aiming for 220-250K base. Currently at $170K base and specializing in cyber security - is this too aggressive a target and if so, what should be my target for base + anything else (with the split)?
