This may be more suited for Fanning'S Job A vs Job B thread, but what's the max pay cut you would take to move to a job that you loved? Example, my current job (which I truly enjoy) will probably pay 5-10k less than my old job, but they only promote from within vs my old job which hired strictly outsiders.

Would you take a $10k pay cut today to have your salary doubled in the next year or two?

this is a question of scale, but most people should answer yes. $10,000 is not that much in comparison to doubling your salary.

Is your salary like $25k or something?  What a dumb question.

At your age, advancement and happiness should priority over money as long as you meet whatever you feel your minimum living wage is.

Sure, but ten years from now you most likely won't regret your decision.

Just 30 minutes ago I was offered my first "career" job. Huge bump in pay and about quadruple the benefits with a company that is well known as being good to their employees and promoting within. I'm pretty stoked. (it's in topeka tho)

is our new POS building gonna slip now?
