For what it’s worth, I willingly took a pay cut for my current job which I enjoy immensely.
This was something I noticed a few years ago when I experimented with using Hired. They let you set your minimum salary. When I set it very high I got matched with companies that I was very disinterested in. When I lowered my minimum salary I heard from a wider range of companies that seemed a lot more compatible with my interests and values.
- mlthoughts2018 7y agoI did this twice in my career & took jobs at companies that seemed very interesting, but after I joined they had bait & switched me and my job responsibilities were way different than I agreed to, and predictably nobody in HR cared. I was left with a job I disliked & never had agreed to _and_ making less money than before. I realized the likes and dislikes, interestingness, culture, etc. can never ever be enforced and can change suddenly. Meanwhile it’s much harder for compensation to change like that.
