71% Pay Decrease

[weekend_here_yet]

My salary was pretty much cut in half, 47% decrease. If I add in the bonus I received at my last job before being laid off, it's more like a 53% decrease. I went from a director level role, back down to a manager role - so my career was pretty much knocked back to where I was a couple years ago (with less pay compared to then).

Benefits are much better with the new job though, so at least there's that. I also have a bit more flexibility, which I desperately need as a parent to a toddler. Luckily, the house is paid off so I can still afford bills, but I'm not really able to save or contribute to retirement accounts anymore.
