Interesting question OP I would keep the same pay but never take a loss out of pricinple

I will take 50%

Depends on how much closer, doesn't it? If someone made you an exec at a F100, you'd probably happily pad your resume with that for whatever you could afford, given the skyrocketed earning potential a year later. But for moving a single level up? No way most would take a pay cut.

In my case, it would be switching from in-house Salesforce / Sales Ops work to boutique strategy & analytics consulting, which would be a 20-30% pay cut. Having trouble weighing the pros & cons

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused.

It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
