Tired of being stressed no wlb. I really want to transition to mission-driven work. I’ve started interviewing with orgs I’m super excited about but pay is much less. How much pay cut is too much?

Unfortunately that really is a personal choice but if mission driven work and WLB are more important to you than money, just know that there will be a pay cut and you’ll need to be ok with that to move into a job you’re happy in. I came from NFP and would happily take a large pay cut to go back to my original salary and have a better lifestyle all around. Feel free to DM if you want to chat - definitely pros and cons to any decision and I think finances are a large consideration here if you’re concerned about pay cut

Any advice on how to get clients to pay your invoice on time / what to do when they don't?

Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?
