TDLR: would you leave your current job for less pay but more WLB + potentially diverse experience?

My current dept in PwC is pretty niche. I recently got an offer at another company for an IA role. Base is 10% less than what I’m earning but annual bonus is around 16%. Should I go for it so I can finally work else than 55+ hours a week and have some sort of personal life but less pay?

Can you give your new salary # and col? I'm in IA I can tell you if it's market

Depends on how desparate you are to leave and how willing you are to give up this job.

What firm is the recruiter from? I had one from Robert Half try to dissuade me from negotiating when I had two offer with a 5k difference through him and liked the lower one better. Ended up taking a job a different recruiter got me for more money (and that recruiter got me a lil more than the initial offer)

Also I am open to discussing partners, marketers, and investors even though I have nothing extraordinary to offer right now. But I have a really good brand, story, and grit to make it big with the right help.
