Worried because of my salary at my current company I am pricing myself out of opportunities to move into a rep agency that could eventually give me the opportunity to buy into it. I’m currently almost topping out on my salary at current company with no opportunity to progress. Can make good money for a while here, but new challenge is interesting to me. Struggling accepting I may have to cut my salary 10k-20k in order to do that…

$10-20k can mean different things to different people. Will it affect your monthly expenses? Does the other opportunity provide longer term growth? If you can afford the pay cut, look at the bigger picture.

I went from six figures to zero to stay home with our child and went back at a much lower salary and have been working my way back up. It works for our family both financially and because of the freedom and flexibility my job provides me with. It all depends on the context.

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
