Maybe looking for a new job

[jp1]

I make nice money at current job, much more than the average, but there’s a bunch of BS. I talked to the recruiter I got current job through and she has a job she thinks I would be a good fit for, but I would have to take a $15K-$20K cut and insurance is pricey. So we will see. Current job is golden handcuffs.

Sorry I’m late to this thread. Have you told the recruiter your salary requirement? Everything is negotiable. And if they want you bad enough they’ll pay what you want. As a hiring manager I’ve learned that salary tends to be a lot more flexible than people let on.

Yes, I told the recruiter how low I was willing to go. She told me she was surprised the company wanted to offer me so little. So maybe there was some disconnect between recruiter and the company.
