Would you take a little bit of a pay-cut to take a job you want and to get out of a job that you hate?

I took a 30k payout and work 9-5 now. Totally worth it

Took a $30k pay cut to leave a horrendous company - stuck it out for a year at a start up until I got my admin cert and came to my current role. Best decision I ever made.

In all seriousness why would you be miserable? And it’s sad thinking about culture that you even have to ask this question

I have - not in the SF industry though. The problem was the lower paying job turned into a pretty miserable work environment 6 months later.

Yes, in general. But no in salesforce world. there is always a job which will give you both.

I think that makes sense. I’m currently an SE at salesforce and want to go back to consulting. Not sure if I’d have to take a pay cut.

Then again a large part of my comp is “at risk” or commission. Which i have yet to receive all of it in my experience

Unfortunately I’m not. Definitely interested in healthcare though if that counts for anything

Yes. As long as I could still comfortably live with the pay for the new job, I would do it. And I have done it. No regrets.

I was in yout situation a couple months ago. I was so close to taking the pay cut as I have not received a better offer back then and I’ve been dying to get out. But glad I waited for a few more months and was offered a better paying one at a company better than the other one. So my suggestion to you is to keep interviewing and eventually you’ll get a better one. Best of luck in your search!

I wouldn’t but I’m a sicko.

If the pay cut is truly “a little” and the job you have now you “hate”, seems worth it to me

And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
